travelers stories about Glacial lake in Laguna Humantay, Peru

Glacial lake in Laguna Humantay, Peru

There are places that we imagine exist, when we began to plan our trip to Cusco, we discovered the Humantay Lagoon, and we were impressed with the beauty of that country, the track is not easy, we had a rainy weather that made the trek more difficult but that does not take away the desire to keep going up to this great lagoon. On the way you will find incredible landscapes that make the walk more pleasant

One off the bucketlist - We were very close to not making the trip up there as our budget was on its last legs. We decided to go it alone rather than use the extortionate travel agencies and made the journey via several local combi-taxi’s, one of which was 5 hours long, then a few sketchy gravel roads with sheer drops to the road’s side, a hike up a railway track, a mad dash through a tunnel to avoid the approaching train, and then a 3 hour round trip hike to the top and back the following morning. One of the best decisions we made and a story to tell. Always do it.

We entered Machu Picchu at 5:30am as the sun was rising over the mountains. This photo was captured as a bird flew off into the distance once we entered the park. The clouds rose from the base of Machu Picchu and cleared to make a sunny day.
