End of Service.
The only access is through the district of Mollepata, to then take a dirt road towards the community of Soraypampa (end of the road for vehicles), at this point we begin the walk of approximately 1 hour and a half along a path that goes up to the Humantay Lagoon.
The best season to visit the Humantay Lagoon is in the Dry Season, between the months of April – October, because in the rainy season the canyon cannot be seen because it is covered in clouds, in addition to the fact that the route is more complicated. .
