The lagoon lies at the foot of the Salkantay mountain (the \u00abApu,\u00bb or mountain spirit, protector of the region). Its waters are believed to be the lifeblood of the mountain. It is a common site for offerings to Mother Earth (Pachamama), where visitors and guides often build apachetas (piles of stones) as a sign of respect and gratitude for a safe journey. Physically, the lagoon is a direct indicator of the state of our glaciers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its waters originate from the melting of the surrounding glaciers. The characteristic turquoise color is due to the presence of microalgae and minerals (rock flour) suspended in the cold water. These lagoons act as natural reservoirs that feed the streams in the lower areas, supporting agriculture and wildlife in the nearby valleys. In this inspiring spot in the Mollepata district (Anta), the melting snows of Humantay create a fantastic landscape accessible by hiking (it&#8217;s part of the Salkantay route). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-column advgb-column advgb-is-one-third-tablet advgb-is-full-mobile\" id=\"advgb-col-dd703485-f4b4-451a-b553-882612d9841d\"><div class=\"advgb-column-inner\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:1px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/salkantayexpeditions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/rainbow-montain.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1294\" height=\"913\" data-id=\"8534\" src=\"https:\/\/salkantayexpeditions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/rainbow-montain.jpg\" alt=\"humantay lagoon hike\" class=\"wp-image-8534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/salkantayexpeditions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/rainbow-montain.jpg 1294w, https:\/\/salkantayexpeditions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/rainbow-montain-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/salkantayexpeditions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/rainbow-montain-1024x722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/salkantayexpeditions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/rainbow-montain-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/salkantayexpeditions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/rainbow-montain-319x225.jpg 319w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1294px) 100vw, 1294px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-columns advgb-columns-wrapper\" id=\"advgb-cols-cbf976ef-0801-4aec-947a-2283e3725ed9\"><div class=\"advgb-columns-container\"><div class=\"advgb-columns advgb-columns-row advgb-is-mobile advgb-columns-2 layout-34-14 mbl-layout-stacked vgutter-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-column advgb-column advgb-is-three-quarters-tablet advgb-is-full-mobile\" id=\"advgb-col-dc54b33f-a47d-407f-9241-8036ae8060b4\"><div class=\"advgb-column-inner\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:1px\"><div class=\"responsive-tabs\">\n<h2 class=\"tabtitle\"><span class=\"fa fa-tag\"><\/span>Overview<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Geography Humantay Lagoon Hike.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Altitude:<\/strong> 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) above sea level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Color:<\/strong> Its striking turquoise hue comes from <strong>rock flour<\/strong> (fine mineral dust) created by glacial erosion.
