Early morning pick up (4AM) from your hotel. Along the drive we will have amazing views of the mountains. We will also pass through a few indigenous villages and cornfields en route to the trailhead. The drive to Soraypampa is about 3 hours. Your hiking team will prepare a delicious breakfast to give you lots of energy before we start our ascent. The hike elevation is of 3800 meters/12,460 feet and takes 1½ to 2 hours to the top. Please note, if you decide not to hike up the mountain, there is an option through the local village to pay to ride a horse up the mountain. The cost is 100 – 200 soles and must be paid in cash.

At the top is the treasure! Magnificent Blue Lagoon, a very special shade of deep turquoise with snow-capped Humantay glacial mountain in the background! The descent is usually a bit quicker than your initial climb, and when we reach the bottom, we’ll have a nice lunch prepared to reward you! With our hearts and bellies full, we will start our 3-hour return to Cusco in our private van.
