Tips from locals
Half hour away you can find the second most important attraction in Cusco after MachuPichu. Salkantay is the first part of the Inca’ s trail and Choquenquirao is a monumental archeological place recently discovered.
The most beautiful place I've seen in Peru so far! Don't miss it. It's worth the difficult climb. If you can be there before 7 AM, you'll be one of the only ones, and it's the most peaceful thing ever.
A stunning emerald green lake with glaciers as the backdrop. A short but difficult hike at altitude, or rent mules to help with the climb up.
Nestled high in the Peruvian Andes, Laguna de Humantay is a pristine turquoise glacial lake surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks. Its serene and untouched beauty offers a peaceful escape and a chance to connect with nature in its purest form. Its a full day tour, I liked it better than the Rainbow Mountain.
