As we ascend, the area’s varied fauna and flora will be around us for observation. We may even encounter some indigenous bird species of the region.

A super spectacular adventure - SPECTACULAR!!!! The place is really beautiful and the attention of our guide Franklin, his driver team Rony and the photographer Ribelino made this experience unforgettable!!! Franklin is not just a guide, he is a leader who leads his team to enjoy the moment, with his kind and charismatic character. We also did the Mountain of Colors and Machu Pichu. SUPER mega recommended!! 😍

Beautiful views and amazing guide - We did this tour with Guido Chavez and it was incredible! Guido was very knowledgeable about Inca history and we learned a ton in addition to the amazing views at the lake. Guido also led us in a traditional Inca ceremony that was very moving. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Humantay Lake.

Humantay Lagoon - The visits are amazing, something out of the ordinary, it is very worth it, it is tiring but throughout the tour the guides help you and follow you up. Justin and Jordan, my guides make it a great experience, they take your photos and videos like professionals and tell you everything about the Inka culture.
