Humantay and Salkantay 2 days

Summary

Discover the magic of the Andes on a two-day trekking adventure filled with breathtaking landscapes, fresh mountain air, and a deep connection with nature.

This tour is designed for adventure lovers seeking unique experiences off the beaten path. Join us on an unforgettable journey that will take you to two of the most stunning destinations in the Cusco region: the mystical Humantay Lake, with its turquoise waters surrounded by towering mountains, and Salkantay Lake, a hidden paradise at the base of the majestic glacier of the same name.

Over the course of two days, you will hike along Andean trails that lead through valleys, glaciers, and high-altitude lakes. You will stay in comfortable domes under a star-filled sky while enjoying panoramic views that feel straight out of a dream. Perfect for travelers who have already visited Machu Picchu and are looking for a new adventure, or for those who want to discover the most authentic and natural side of Cusco.
