Humantay Lake Tour – full day
Tour Overview
Humantay Lake Humantay Lake is an ideal blend of cultural and natural beauty. We will enjoy the ecosystem’s challenge as well as the breathtaking view of the snow-capped Salkantay (6264m/20551f), the most representative mountain in the Vilcabamba mountain range. The walk transports us back to the Inca era and makes us conscious of the spirits of mountains like Tucarhuay and Humantay, both of which have peaks higher than 5000m (16404 feet).
