Humantay Lagoon by Motorcycle

This isn’t your average tour—this is a high-altitude, throttle-open Andean challenge.
We kick things off at our base in Cusco, where the bikes are prepped and the guide gives you a few quick riding tips. Once the engines roar, we ride out—3 hours of raw road ahead, climbing out of the valley and tearing through high mountain terrain.

Our first checkpoint: Mollepata (3,850 m.a.s.l.). We stop here to throw down a solid breakfast—local, hearty, and made to fuel the climb. Then it’s back in the saddle for 30 more minutes on rugged dirt roads, winding through wild Andean scenery toward Soraypampa. The trail gets rough, but so do we.

At Soraypampa, it’s time to park the bikes and hit the trail. The hike to Laguna Humantay begins—4,200 meters above sea level. The path? Steep. The air? Thin. The views? Next level. After 1.5 hours of trekking, the reward is epic: a glacier-fed, turquoise lagoon nestled beneath the snow-covered Humantay and Salkantay peaks. It’s a spot straight out of a dream—or a biker’s version of heaven.

We’ll take time to breathe it all in, snap some killer photos, and embrace the stillness… before descending back to Soraypampa. From there, we hit Mollepata one last time for a buffet lunch—you’ve earned it. After a short rest, we twist the throttle and roll back to Cusco, arriving around 6:00 p.m., dusty, tired, and totally alive.

This is more than a ride. It’s a full-throttle assault on the senses—high altitude, high impact, and 100% unforgettable.
