Humantay Lagoon Tour  PhotoHumantay Lagoon Tour  Photo

The peaks of the Salkantay and Humantay mountains tower on either side of the Humantay Lagoon. These snow capped mountains melt and add to the waters of the Humantay Lagoon.

You’ll depart from Cusco and you’ll have breakfast served before setting out on a hike that takes you to a soaring height of 13,779 feet (4200 m) above sea level (your guides have an oxygen tank if the altitude makes you feel woozy).

When you arrive, you’ll have a breathtaking view of icy cold, clear water of the lake. You’ll also get to see the flora and fauna that only exist at this altitude. After you’re happy with your photographs of this natural wonder, you’ll return to the basecamp at Mollepata for lunch.

What's included

Round-trip transportation, breakfast, lunch, raincoat, hiking pole, entrance fee, first aid kit, oxygen tank, and a professional guide.

Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain 1 Day

This tour allows you to experience beautiful views of the Palccoyo “Rainbow” Mountain. The colorful stripes on the mountain are layers of sediment exposed by erosion. How bright the colors appear depends on the weather — the colors can be more dull on cloudy or rainy days, but no matter what the conditions on the day of your tour there’s still plenty to see on this one-day trek.

Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain Full-Day Tour

On this tour, you'll get to see one of the Andes' most breathtaking sights. In the native language of Quechua, Vinicunca means “seven color mountain.” It is also commonly referred to as “Rainbow Mountain” because of its striped pattern of red, green, and lavender. These colors come from different types of sediment and are due in part to the high altitude.
