Humantay Lake
The lake at 4600m. Like the Rainbow Mountain, the challenge here is not really the terrain, but the altitude.
After huffing and puffing up the mountain, you’ll be rewarded with the sight of the spectacular Humantay Lake. This glacier lake lies at the feet of the majestic snow-capped Humantay mountain; with unbelievable hues of blue and green that sparkle when the sun shines on the water body. Simply stunning.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can climb up to the narrow ridge surrounding the lake to have a bird’s eye view of the lake and its surrounding. Be warned – the wind can get strong and extremely chilly up there!
Like many attractions in Peru, the Humantay Lake can be done as a day trip from Cusco too.
