Humantay Lake & Panoramic View of the Snowy Peaks

Humantay Lake is an impressive place due to its immensity, marks, and colors in the landscape, which makes it one of the must-visit tourist destinations in the heart of Peru. Humantay Lake is a natural beauty in the Salkantay region in Cusco. It is believed that the lake preserves the sacred waters of Apu Humantay that irrigate the fields of the area. The Laguna de Humantay is highly respected by the region’s inhabitants due to its location and great importance for the subsistence economy of the locals.
