Afterward, we get ready for the hike towards the Humantay Lake for around 2 hours uphill hike (3 km). Once in Humantay Lake, you will have enough time to take pictures of the breathtaking scenery, listen to the explanations of the guide and enjoy all the wonderful landscape of the area.
The time that you will spend at Humantay Lake is about 45 minutes to 1½ hours depending on the weather conditions. Sometimes it is cloudy, foggy or a little rainy and it is very cold, in that case you may stay about 30 minutes.
