After a brief talk with our guide, we will begin the 1.5 to 2-hour hike to Humantay Lake.
The ascent is challenging but rewarding. We recommend bringing a trekking pole, taking your time, and staying hydrated, as you will be at high altitude. Along the way, you will enjoy spectacular views of the Andean Mountain Range and breathe in the pure air of the Peruvian Andes.
Upon arriving at Humantay Lake, you will be amazed by its turquoise waters, which reflect the sky and the glacier that feeds them. You will have free time to explore, take photographs, and, if you are up for it, climb a bit higher up the rocky slopes to get even more breathtaking views. Our guide will share fascinating stories about the culture, history, and mysticism of this sacred place, and you will even have the opportunity to participate in a small gratitude ritual to nature using coca leaves.
The descent to Soraypampa will take approximately 1.5 hours, where a delicious typical lunch in Mollepata awaits us. Finally, we will begin our journey back to Cusco, arriving around 5:00 p.m., with our hearts full of unforgettable memories.

Lares Trek to Machu Picchu 4 Days
The Lares Trek to Machu Picchu is one of the most authentic and least explored trekking routes in Cusco. Unlike the Classic Inca Trail, Salkantay Trek, or Inka Jungle Trek, this route immerses you in the essence of the Peruvian Andes, combining spectacular landscapes with a deep cultural connection. This trek starts in the Lares Valley, located east of the Urubamba Mountain Range. During the journey, you will cross stunning mountains, crystal-clear lagoons, and small Andean communities that have preserved their traditions since Inca times. Its geographic isolation has allowed these populations to maintain their traditional clothing, language, gastronomy, and ancestral customs, providing you with a unique and authentic experience. One of the most fascinating aspects of this route is the interaction with the local population. You will be able to observe and share with families who still practice textile techniques passed down from their ancestors, making garments with alpaca wool and dyed with natural dyes. In addition, along the way, you will walk alongside llamas and alpacas, sacred animals to the Incas, which remain an integral part of Andean life. The Lares Trek is not only a physical challenge but also an opportunity to connect with Pachamama and enjoy the natural beauty of the Andes. Over four days, you will experience the true spirit of trekking in Cusco, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and culminating the adventure with a visit to the majestic Machu Picchu citadel.
