Up to Humantay - During the tour, guide Alex and driver Willie generated a good accompaniment from the moment you are picked up at the hotel and during the journey from the Humantay lagoon. They keep an eye on your health and give you tips for the ascent and descent of the mountain. Transportation and restaurant service is spectacular.

No regrets at all - I’m not a morning person, but waking up early for this tour? No regrets at all! The trail up was a bit tough, but the guide gave us breaks and lots of encouragement. When we reached the lake, it felt like standing in front of heaven’s mirror. Stunning. Plus, breakfast and lunch were included and tasty!

💧 Blue like a dream! - Humantay Lake was even more beautiful than the photos! The hike was challenging but totally worth it. The moment you see the crystal-clear water with the mountains in the background , pure magic. Our small group felt like a little family, and the guide kept everyone motivated. One of my favorite days in Peru! 💙

The most beautiful places I’ve ever seen - You’ll feel tired, cold, and probably a bit breathless , but you’ll also feel deeply alive. Reaching Humantay Lake felt like an accomplishment. The water, the sky, the mountains... it’s like stepping into another world.

A truly magical place - A truly magical place. The hike was intense due to the altitude, but the reward at the top was beyond anything I expected. The guide kept a steady pace and checked on everyone constantly. If you’re in Cusco and want a full-day adventure in nature, do this.

An incredible day - We had an incredible day hiking to Humantay Lake. Our guide shared beautiful stories about the Andean mountains and their spiritual meaning. The hike is tough, but they gave us plenty of breaks, coca tea, and encouragement. Highly recommended if you're okay with a bit of effort.

Terrible Experience - Wish we could go back and not do this tour. There were so many issues. 1. The operator advised there was a closure and we needed to go to another place so we needed to pay more. 2. We wanted to cancel later on but apparently it was too late, but they gave a strange reason why we couldn't cancel. 3. The tour operator was late for pickup. 4. When we were hiking, we were hiking alone for a large majority of the time. 5. We were supposed to have time to soak in the hot springs, but that never happened. 6. They bring you to a place with bathrooms, but there are no seats and you'll have to pay for TP. Hopefully you don't have to go during your hike. 7. The tour operator sent us a link to pay, but sent us the wrong amount and we were essentially held hostage at the end of the night until we fixed the amount. Oh good. I could go on, but I would simply never book with this tour company ever again.
