Overview

Be amused with the majestic turquoise waters of the Humantay Lake, start this hike with a beautiful landscape and reach the glacier-based Lake. Humantay Lake, or Laguna Humantay, sparkles in the Andes Mountain range like an emerald jewel. Its brilliant green and blue water makes it one of the most well-known lakes in Peru, as well as one of the top day trips from Cusco. Below you will find all the information you need to visit this hidden gem. This extremely photogenic lake is located about 75 miles northwest of Cusco and just south of Machu Picchu. Humantay sits snugly between Humantay Mountain and Salkantay Mountain. In fact, it is a popular branch-off hike when trekking along the Salkantay Trail, an incredibly scenic alternative to the Inca Trail. Humantay sits over the Vilcabamba mountain range.
