Humantay Lake is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the area and a mandatory detour for anyone on the Salkantay Trek. The difficult high-altitude climb is rewarded by the splendid turquoise of the circular lake at the foot of the gigantic wall of the Humantay. It's a turquoise paradise. Another highlight is the small kiosk at 4,250 meters above sea level, whose beer is hard to resist after the strenuous ascent. If you're lucky, you can see condors up close here. Sometimes they fly right over you. It's very impressive.

The first day of the Salkantay Trek takes you high up on Lake Humantay, a turquoise paradise. In front of the towering mountain of the same name, whose gigantic moraines surround the colorful water. Another highlight can be found on one of these stone tongues. A small sales kiosk at 4250 m, whose beer you can hardly resist after the strenuous ascent.
