DESCRIPTION
A must do in Cusco is to visit the Humantay Lake, perfect for those who love nature. Is a great way for you to fully experience your time in Cusco! This lake is the product of the snowmelt of the mountain and the characteristic color is turquoise. As you are going on your way you will love the scenery surrounded by mountains and the snow on the top of it as you are getting closer. It reaches 4200 meters above the sea (13,780 feet).
