Top Tours & Activities in Mollepata

Cusco undoubtedly surprises us every day more, and now it presents its natural wonder the famous Humantay Lagoon. The Humantay Lagoon is formed as a thaw product of the Humantay Snowy which in turn is part of a mountain range called the Vilcabamba mountain range. What differentiates the Humantay Lagoon from other lagoons, is the natural color that it possesses, since it does not have much marine flora in its waters, it has an indescribable color in words, but understandable to the eyes, forming a unique landscape.

This full-day excursion from Cusco will allow you to access the Andes to see a picturesque lagoon at high altitude with only a small amount of moderate difficulty hiking. Go to the path that leads to the Humantay Lagoon or rent a horse (additional cost). Along the way, look for views of iconic Andean peaks, including Salkantay.
