The Humantay Lagoon is located at 4,630 meters above sea level, at the foot of the mountain of the same name, which reaches 5,470 meters. Its waters, of an intense greenish blue, come from the melting of the neighboring mountains, creating a contrasting scenery between the earth tones and the white of the snow.
Another neighboring peak is Salkantay, with 6,270m. Trendy travelers may already know that this is the name of one of the trekking circuits from Cusco, which has Machu Picchu as its final destination. With a duration of 4 or 5 days, it is the most popular alternative to the classic Inca Trail, which has a limit of tourists per day and requires reservations months in advance. During the Salkantay trail you pass Humantay.
