OVERVIEW
If you are a nature lover, this route full of beautiful landscapes, with exotic flora and fauna along the way, will impress you with the incredible panoramic views where you can take dream pictures.
The Humantay lagoon, a name from Quechua that means "head of God" is the most sacred and beautiful in Cusco, with a depth of 17 meters at 4200 meters above sea level; It is formed by the melting of the snow-capped Salkantay and Humantay. This lagoon has a unique turquoise color because of the presence of minerals, microalgae and the reflection of sunlight, we can appreciate this magical setting.
