Machu Picchu is consistently the #1 travel destination in the world, why? The answer is simple: the experience is fascinating and unique.
You're not just driving up to the overlook, getting out of the car, and taking some pictures; you are traveling deep into South America, into the heart of the Andes. Stumbling upon the lost city of the Incas is only part of the journey.
Planning a trip to Machu Picchu is a dream for many people, but the planning can be a bit overwhelming. We've created some sample itineraries to give you a starting point for planning, and we're here to help with whatever you need. From booking hotels or airport transfers, let FLY CUSCO PERU TRAVEL AGENCY take care of all your logistics. They cover routes we've found to work particularly well and feature some of our favorite places to stay.
The former capital of the mighty Inca empire, the Peruvian city of Cusco, is a fabulous base from which to explore fascinating archaeological and historical sites, as well as enjoy time in nature. While the city has much to be proud of, much of the area's charm can be found beyond the city limits.
Here are some of the best day trips to do from Cusco for a fabulous Peruvian adventure.

The Humantay lake offers one of the most beautiful landscapes in Cusco and Peru. Its turquoise waters and the snow-capped mountains that surround it are photographed by hundreds of tourists every day. The best way to visit this beautiful landscape is taking the Humantay lake full day tour. This tour includes everything you need for the adventure: hotel pick-up, transportation, breakfast, lunch, entrance fees, and professional tour guide service.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Group tour: We pick-up at your hotel at 4:30 am
Private tour: Choose pickup at your hotel between 03:00 am to 7:00 am
We pick you up at hotels, Airbnbs, houses, apartments in the historic center of Cusco. We will start by driving to Mollepata, where we will stop for a delicious breakfast and enjoy the mountains in the morning light. Once we are full, we will continue on our transport to Soraypampa, where you will begin to feel the powerful presence of the glaciers. After listening to brief instructions from your guide, we will begin our 2-hour ascent to the beautiful Humantay Lake.
Keep in mind that you will be walking on very rocky terrain, so using a walking stick is a great idea. Take your time, walk slowly, get some rest, and try to drink plenty of fluids; it will be at a high altitude, so you should take things slow.
After the effort of walking uphill, you will enjoy the most incredible reward. Hidden among the rocky landscape, the impressive Humantay Lake gradually appears. This beautiful body of turquoise water originates from the same snow that covers the mountain, which melts and drains away. Hike and make an effort to go a bit higher up the surrounding rocky slopes for better views. The higher you are, the more turquoise the water will look and you will be able to enjoy the best panoramic view. Being so close to the mountains will really shake you up and you will probably understand why they are so sacred in the Andean culture.
It will be about an hour and a half downhill to return to Soraypampa, where you will return to the town of Mollepata to enjoy a spectacular buffet lunch. Then you will board our transport to take you back to Cusco.

What do I need to bring for the tour to Laguna Humantay?
How long in advance should I make my reservation?
You must make the reservation at least 1 day before. We recommend making all reservations in advance.
Do I need to make a deposit to guarantee my reservation?
Yes, it will be guaranteed with a deposit payment of the total cost of the tour per person through our 2 forms of payment mentioned in our Book Now form. Important: None of the requested deposits include transaction fees.
What is the best time to make the excursion to Laguna Humantay?
Peru is a very large country with many different climates, for that reason it would be very difficult to define a good time to visit different places. However, we consider that the best season is from April to December. In the months of January to March the mountain is covered with snow. If you want to see one side of the mountain covered and the other side the colors? These dates are the best time.
Where will the information session take place?
This meeting will be held the night before the departure of the tour in the lobby of your hotel, apartment, hostel or family home in Cusco. You could also do it at our office located on Calle Portal de panes, office 201 (second floor). Plaza de armas de cusco.
Group Price: US$ 35 per person
Price in private: US$ 135.00 per person (minimum 02 people).
All fees and charges are included.
