What to see in Humantay Lake?
The road is as beautiful as the destination since you will pass through a beautiful typical landscape of the Andes between hills, high mountains, llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas into Humantay Lake Tour.
The climb is not easy, but the reward is a fantastic view of the turquoise lagoon that contrasts with the snow of the glaciers.
Around the lake, you can see small stone towers. They are the apachetas in honor of the lake and the mountains that are elements considered sacred by the local communities.
Here also offerings are made to the Pachamama. Often with three coca leaves, a set called Kintu represents the three worlds of Inca mythology.
