Outworldly beauty - Long hike but well worth the effort. The experience was very nice and the staff right from the booking till driving me back to my hotel were incredibly nice and helpful. I did fel a bit shirt of breath as we got closer to the lake but the guide was quick to assist me and accompanied me all the way up to the lake ensuring that i did not have any issue. They did have an option of renting a horse but i didn´t feel it quite needful as the hike was through beautiful sites and i did have plenty of stop along the way to click photos. Would highly recommend spending a few days and acclimatizing well before doing the trek.

Nice guide and spectacular views - We did this Humantay Lake tour with Saul (our guide) and every moment of the trip was crafted exceptionally. We had nice breakfast and lunch during the tour and Saul did a remarkable work in explaining the prominence of the lake and mountains in the Incan mythology.

An immersive day trip - We had a wonderful time visiting the Humantay Lake on a full day trip from Cusco. Everything was well planned especially the guide was very helpful and patient, especially when we found it difficult to hike as we got closer to the lake.

A perfect day trip from Cusco - After a much thoughful decision I chose to visit the Humantay lake as I was unsure of hiking at that high altitude. It was the best decision I made, this is truly a hidden gem and an unmissable place in Cusco. Machu Picchu 360 was very much attentive to details and did everything to make this trip a memorable one.
