Nestled at the base of the majestic Salkantay Glacier, Humantay Lake is one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Cusco region. Its crystal-clear turquoise and emerald waters, framed by the snow-capped peaks of the Vilcabamba mountain range, make it a favorite destination for travelers seeking both adventure and tranquility in the Peruvian Andes. Sitting at 4,200 meters above sea level, the lake offers breathtaking views along with the peaceful atmosphere of untouched high-altitude nature.
After exploring Humantay Lake on day one, you’ll continue your journey to the legendary Machu Picchu — an Inca citadel hidden high in the mountains, its temples, terraces, and stonework as impressive today as when it was built. Our professional local guide shares the history and culture behind each site, making the visit both educational and unforgettable.
This 2-day Humantay Lake and Machu Picchu tour from Cusco is designed for travelers with limited time who still want the very best of Peru. In just two days you’ll take in the beauty of the Andes, learn about Inca history, and stand before one of the New Seven Wonders of the World — whether your focus is hiking, photography, culture, or simply the magic of the mountains, this short trip is one of the highlights of any visit to Cusco.
Your briefing takes place the day before the trek. Our guide will walk you through everything you need to know — timing, gear, and what to expect on both days — and answer any questions before you set out. If you’re deciding between routes, our Salkantay Trek covers similar terrain over more days for those with extra time.
