    Detailed itinerary

    We begin your adventure very early with pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We will head toward Mollepata and then to Soraypampa, the starting point of the hike. From here, we will ascend along a trail surrounded by mountains until reaching the dazzling Humantay Lagoon, a turquoise jewel located at 4,200 m.a.s.l.
