A Day Trek to Humantay Lake – A Hidden Paradise in The Andes Mountains

I would venture to say that Humantay Lake is one of the most beautiful bodies of water that I have seen. And possibly one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Andean region.

The Andes mountains that surround the Cusco area are some of the most magnificent of Peru. Therefore, many embark on multi day hikes like the long and challenging Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu to immerse themselves in the natural beauty the area has to offer.

However, not everyone has the time, money or physical ability to complete the Salkantay trek. And fortunately there are other time saving and more cost effective options available to experience the splendor of the Andes. One of the best being a day trek to Humanity Lake, a hidden paradise in the Andes mountains. And best of all the amazing views of Humantay Lake are easy to get to as a day trip from Cusco.
