Description
La Laguna Humantay es un impresionante cuerpo de agua ubicado en los Andes peruanos. Esta laguna es famosa por su asombroso color turquesa y su impresionante entorno natural, rodeada de imponentes montañas y una gran variedad de flora y fauna.
La historia de la Laguna Humantay se remonta a miles de años, formada por el deshielo del glaciar Humantay. Este proceso natural ha dado origen a una laguna de un intenso color turquesa, producto de los minerales que arrastran las aguas del glaciar. Rodeada de imponentes cumbres, entre ellas el propio nevado Humantay, esta laguna es un testimonio vivo de la dinámica geológica de los Andes.
