Humantay Lake Peru Day Trip is a popular day tour from Cusco Peru as Rainbow Mountain. Locally known as Laguna Humantay Cusco, it is a turquoise lake nestled up in the Andes at 4,200 meters above sea level.

Humantay Lake gets its name from the snow capped Humantay Mountain. The lake nestles on its foothills. It is fed by the melting snow from the hill.

This is the first stop on the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu. Humantay Lake Peru has been sacred to the Andean people since the Inca civilization. This is primarily because they worshipped the nature entities for a good yielding.

Even today Shamans (Andean priests) hike up to the lagoon to offer Apacheta. It is a process of piling stones each on top of the other to thank the Mother Earth (Pachamama) for accompanying them on their journey.

Humantay Lake Peru can only be reached by hiking for 1.5 hours from Soraypampa.

Great trip! Lake is beautiful, hike is challenging but doable. Tour guide was very friendly, i was the only non- spanish speaker but they still accommodate me in english. And they had the best price among other tour operators. Only improvement point, it would be good a night before to confirm pick up. I only got the communication the morning of the hike.

Second to none, this was quite a trip. The hike was longer than expected but the scenic views along the way compensated for all the effort we took. The guide was very nice and shared many useful information about the trek and local communities. The lake is quite high and we got closer the buffetting winds made it even more challenging. However, it was well worth the visit as it is too serene and nestled in the Andes away from the touristic crowds. The drive was quite long with well planned stops and we never felt rushed or hurried. Luis is a gem of a person and highly reccommend the tour aand the company.

Exceptional tour of the Humantay Lake with Saul. They were very punctual and we had plenty of time to explore and immerse in the beauty of the Andes. The hike was a bit longer than expected but the views along the way compensated for all the efforts. Although a bit ardous hike I would highly reccomend this tour to beat the touristic crowd of Cusco.
