This motorcycle adventure to the Humantay lagoon will leave you with an unforgettable memory, the route has beautiful views, more than 60% of the road is wide road and is part of the South Pan-American Highway. The beautiful Humantay lagoon is located on the slopes of the Humantay mountain, this fascinating mountain, like the Salkantay and is part of the Vilcabamba mountain range. The melting of the snowcapped Humantay formed the Humantay lagoon or Ccocha, a turquoise lagoon with a unique scenic beauty, the color of its waters is due to the minerals found inside and its greatest depth is approximately 4 meters.
The snowcapped Humantay (4,180 m.a.s.l.) is a mountain of perpetual snow with active glacier tongues, it has a unique beauty where you can easily see the “seracs” (compact snow with bluish and green tones), natural cracks, ice caves with stalactites and stalagmites of ice. In this place you can also observe the biodiversity of the flora and fauna of the place.

We will start our adventure towards the Humantay lagoon in our office, where we will have the motorcycles ready and our guide will give some small driving tips, after a 3-hour motorcycle trip we will arrive at Mollepata (3850 masl). In Mollepata we will have a delicious breakfast to start the day well before starting our trek. In 30 more minutes we will arrive at Soraypampa, this part of the road is dirt but it is full of beautiful landscapes and Andean forests, we will leave our motorcycles in Soraypampa, from this place we will start our walk towards the Humantay lagoon (4200 masl) with beautiful views, we can see the impressive Salkantay and Humantay, covered in snow. It’s a 1 hour and 30 minute walk to the lagoon with low to moderate difficulty, and it’s worth it when you see the magical view. We will have enough time to take photos and enjoy its beautiful views. After the visit we will begin our descent to Soraypampa, which is much easier than the ascent. In Mollepata a buffet lunch awaits us and after a break we return to Cusco, where we will arrive at 6 pm.
