If you have visited Cusco or are planning for your next vacation, a good alternative for natural and Andean landscape is the beautiful Humantay Lake, which is 4 hours from Cusco. Preferably do this trip after having visited Machu Picchu, since you should adapt very well to the altitude. This is a relatively small lake in Peru, whose waters are turquoise on a sunny day, and that is mainly due to the glacial origin of the lake. During the excursion you will be able to see the fantastic glaciers that rise right in front of you. This is one of the most serene and absolutely beautiful places in the world, where you can reconnect with Mother Nature.

Visiting Lake Humantay is an incredible idea if you want to immerse yourself in the beauty of Peru. Without a doubt, the best time to visit this natural landscape is in the dry season that begins in May until August. Walking to Lake Humantay requires a challenging uphill hike. Images of this surreal landscape attract hundreds of visitors every day. The Tours are organized in groups of 15 to 18 people. If you need mules or horses to get there, it is possible to rent them at the beginning of the walk.
