- Humantay Lagoon
Day-by-day itinerary

DESCRIPTION
If you like to enjoy nature and trekking, this place is ideal for you. The Humantay lagoon is located between the Nevado Salkantay and the Humantay Mountain, since its unique turquoise color generates the interest of foreign and national visitors who, when taking the walk, feel a sense of peace and tranquility, thanks to the natural beauty of the place. This lagoon has a mystical air, which is why different shamans and tourists visit this lagoon bringing offerings to Pachamama, a deity of Inca culture. However, today this lagoon is used by the inhabitants who live at the foot of these impressive snow-capped mountains for their daily consumption.
