About the Activity
The Humantay Lagoon is one of the most spectacular and frequently visited destinations in Peru. Nestled in the Peruvian Andes at an altitude of approximately 4,200 meters above sea level, this stunning turquoise body of water lies at the base of the majestic Nevado Salkantay, one of the region's most sacred peaks.
This lagoon has become a place of pilgrimage for travelers eager to bask in its natural beauty and awe-inspiring scenery. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and Andean vegetation, the Humantay Lagoon offers a unique experience for nature lovers and hikers alike.
The hike to the lagoon is challenging yet immensely rewarding. Visitors can savor panoramic views and the tranquility of the environment along the way. The spiritual connection and sense of peace experienced upon reaching the lagoon make the effort well worth it.
