    Tips

    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.

        One of the most beautiful places to visit on the Salkantay Trek. Difficult meters up in altitude are rewarded by the glowing turquoise of the cirque lake under the gigantic wall of the Humantay. If that's not enough for you, you can cool off in the neighboring wooden shed, where you can order a cold drink at 4250 m. Well then cheers. 🍻
