Humantay Lagoon + Salkantay Pass with Domes – 2D/1N
Humantay Lagoon is located in the Cusco region, in Peru. It is situated at an altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level. The lagoon is a popular tourist attraction due to its beautiful natural beauty and its location in the Andean mountains. It is formed by the accumulation of rainwater and snowmelt from the peak of Humantay mountain, which is located near the lagoon. The water of the lagoon is a turquoise color due to the refraction of light on the ice and snow that surround it. The lagoon is surrounded by snow-capped peaks and is a popular place for hiking and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
