Peru Humanity Lake, Cusco Region
This lake is one of the most beautiful and sacred ones "near" Cusco. Its turquoise water with the mountains of Salkantay (6,270 m) in the background is just outstanding.
Photography Tips
Go for sunrise and use the top-down option. The drone is only possible with a permit, which can be purchased through companies or from the locals in cooperation / against a fee. Than it is only possible with verifiable drone license that you need to have with you!
Travel Information
From the marked parking lot you can start the 7km (round trip) hike. Plan more time for the way there, because it is basically permanently quite steep upwards.
