On this occasion, we had the wonderful opportunity to visit one of the most impressive natural sites of our stay in Cusco; We are talking about the Humantay Lagoon.
Humantay means "head of the gods" in the Quechua language and is the name of the mountain that can be seen in the background. As it belongs to part of the mountain, the lagoon acquired the same name.
The ascent has a medium to high difficulty, everything will depend on the physical condition of each one; therefore age is not a limiting factor. We saw young people go back half way, and older adults go all the way to the top.
From our experience, we believe it is the best option to hire this tour through an agency, which includes transportation, breakfast, tour guide, oxygen (if required) and a well-deserved lunch at the end of the tour.
The state of the road is very irregular so you will go at your own risk; however, there are those who dare to do it this way.
Do not be fooled into thinking that the descent will be easier, since after a certain distance some people start to feel pain in their knees due to the impact that this entails.
The Humantay Lagoon is a place that impresses those who dare to visit it.
We recommend it if you travel to Cusco!
