Humantay Lagoon Chonta Canyon

Early our private transportation will pick you up at your hotel between 4:00 and 4:30 am to begin our adventure to the southeast of the city of Cusco.

We will visit Tinki, a small and cozy town where we will rest for a few minutes and then continue the bus trip for 45 minutes to Pacchanta, a community with beautiful landscapes. The trip from the city of Cusco to this point is approximately 3 hours.

In Pacchanta we will have breakfast to increase energy and we will be ready to start the walk, in the company of the guide you will learn the geographical history of the lagoons that are located near the Ausangate and Qayangate mountains (4-hour journey).

If you are lucky, near the road you will be able to see some Andean animals such as condors, wild cats, foxes, skunks, huallatas, partridges, deer or vizcachas. Before reaching Vinicunca (10 minutes away) there is a detour that leads to the Red Valley viewpoint, a unique destination covered by a reddish mantle where travelers often take photographs or videos.

The lagoons are Azulcocha, Otorongo, Pucacocha 1, Pucacocha 2, Yanacocha, Alqacocha and Q'omercocham. During the tour you will be able to see a variety of birds, alpacas, llamas, vizcachas and if you are lucky, a condor.

Concluding the walk, you will return to the community of Pacchanta to enjoy a rewarding and delicious lunch prepared with Andean ingredients.

You can then relax in the hot springs that the community offers to visitors, and it is recommended to do so to relieve the contraction of tense muscles.

At the end of our trip we will return to the city of Cusco and we will leave our adventurers at their hotels or near the main square.
