Humantay Lake, a paradise of turquoise waters
Humantay Lake is one of the places that prove that in Peru, the best of the trip is the way.
Considered one of the most spectacular landscapes of the Andean region, it is located to the north of Cusco.
In Mollepata it is possible to prepare the walk of Soraypampa, another trek, surrounded by steep peaks and an impressive glacier, which gives access to Salkantay. Considered one of the sacred mountains of Peru, Salkantay has more than 20 thousand feet of height and a snowy ridge. But we'll talk about it in another post.
The fact is that on this course, after climbing about 1,200 feet high and conquering some hills, we come across this fabulous perfection of nature.
With its cool and majestic air, Lake Humantay pleases all sights. Some swear that it is mystical, sacred, and has powers of concentration and healing.
Anyone who has visited Humantay, points out 3 human senses that are awakened by the splendid view of this lake:
1-Perception: The freezing sight, from the reflection of the mountain on the water is at first indescribable. Most of the time the guides or natives play flutes, which sharpen the perception of something unreachable, being reached there, by the visitors.
2-Freedom: Breaking is one of the senses that liberates the human mind, knowing different places, little inhabited or difficult to access, also allow the feeling of freedom. In almost all the way and trails, this sensation of freedom is present, as much by the overcoming, as by the presence in a spectacular place and perfect to the human eyes.
3-Integration: Being part of the whole is one of the human senses that makes us seek new destinations and experiences. Visitors to Lake Humantay, for the most part, feel integrated with nature, local belief and the whole, including the region's giant mountains and glaciers. It's a fabulous feeling, described by everyone.
To bet on destinies like this is to be sure of extraordinary visions, inexplicable experiences and indescribable surpasses.
