Climb to Humantay Lake in Andes - icetent. com/blog
I arrived in Cuzco Peru on Sunday and met with other group members and our guides. Monday we arrived at Salkantay lodge elevation 12,690 feet. Today we climbed to Humantay Lake elevation 14,100 feet.
Our guides claimed nobody has ever swum in this cold glacial lake, but that a few had stuck there feet in. I totally submerged myself in the lake (it was cold) so perhaps I am the first. Wednesday we begin our trek to Machu Piccchu.
