Itinerary

4:00 AM: We will pick you up at your hotel in Cusco around 5 AM. Our private transport will take you to our starting point of the hike - the village Mollepata at 2,800m altitude.

6:00 AM: When we arrive at our starting point, you will be provided with breakfast to energize you while the crew prepares for the trek. From here we will be hiking until our next stop at 3,900m altitude, a large green plain named Soraypampa. After some time to rest, we continue. The path onward until the base of the glacier is steep but rewarding! Take your time to enjoy the beautiful mountainous surroundings and to take pictures.

Humantay lagoon at 4,200m altitude offers incomparable views of majestic, snow-capped Andes mountains reflected in the turquoise waters. When you are ready, we head down the same trail back to where we started. A late lunch will be prepared for you there, before we depart to Cusco again on our private transfer.

7:00 PM: Expected return to Cusco.
