The tour to Humantay Lake can be done from Ollantaytambo. At Ready to Travel Peru, we offer two ideal options for our tourists. One of the most enjoyable options is a private tour with flexible schedules for you. The second option is a shared tour with a taxi service from Ollantaytambo, connecting to a shared tour in Cusco.

Trip from Ollantaytambo to Mollepata
From Ollantaytambo, take a bus or private transportation to Mollepata. This trip takes approximately 3 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. The cost usually ranges from 350 to 450 soles. Make sure to take an authorized taxi, which ensures a safe and reliable journey.
Mollepata to Soraypampa
From Mollepata, continue on to Soraypampa. You can take local transportation or arrange with a travel agency to reach this point. The journey takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. The cost of a taxi from Mollepata to Soraypampa is between 100 and 150 soles. Remember to take a round-trip taxi.
Soraypampa to Humantay Lake

Keep in mind these solo travel recommendations
- There are many people offering tours informally. They offer low prices and often take alternate routes to avoid police checkpoints due to not having the proper authorization and tourist travel insurance. It’s best to be very cautious.
- It’s important to consider travel times to avoid arriving late. If you suffer from altitude sickness, it’s better to bring an oximeter to check your oxygen levels and an oxygen bottle to help with it.
