Great guide, beautiful four - Wally was super and fun. He made sure everyone had great individual/couple photos, and shared his cultural and personal connection to Humantay.
As an avid hiker, I will say it’s quite the journey up if you opt out of riding a horse. The view from the top is beautiful!

Inolvidable! - Pie guy Wally was the coolest guy ever. Got the chance to sit next to him and share many stories about our two different countries. He was very knowledgeable about the trail, him, the lake, and the mountains behind the lake. Highly recommend him.

Lovely day at Humantay! - Such a lovely trip! Our guide Wayra was so friendly and gave us great information about the lagoon. He checked in with all the group members as we went, and made sure we were doing okay during the hike.
The lagoon was beautiful and I would highly recommend!

1 Day Trip To Humantay Lake - Myself and my partner went on the 1 day trip to Humantay Lake. We had Wayra as our tour guide who was so great and informative and put us at ease. We had a delicious breakfast to fuel our hike and a buffet lunch after. The transport was comfortable and smooth!

Once in a lifetime experience - This was a great experience really worth the price of it.
However to be honest this is a very strenuous hike to do one of the most challenging ones we have personally done. It lasts for quite awhile and it is quite steep and due to the altitude we were a lot of the times of breath.
Of course everyone's different and take the appropriate precautions, but expect to struggle 100% hah. But the views were totally worth it..and our Guide Jonathan was super helpful and friendly he was always there to support and guide us very professional and he helped us getting some horses for some bit of the way up and gave us some perfume florida to help us with sickness

Great day out at Laguna Humantay - Had a wonderful group tour with Jonathan. The laguna was absolutely beautiful and the journey there, including transport, was excellent. He ensured everyone was feeling good as the trek can be difficult for some suffering from altitude sickness. The breakfast and lunch was very good also.
Thanks for a great day!
