Humantay Lake day trip took me by a big surprise. This afterthought trip turns out to be a memorable one, with the help of our guide, Marciel. He is informative, flexible, and very accommodating. The hike was much more difficult than we thought, mostly due to high altitude, but Marciel handled our large group perfectly with the gears, aids, and knowledge necessary for all of us to go through the day. Highly recommended. Tip: the guide will recommend riding a horse on the way up, and unless you're fully prepared for a long- steep hike, I suggest you follow their recommendations.

This hike is not for those who are not in physical shape to walk vertically at a fast pace. It's a steep climb, and I would personally consider this hike difficult, not moderate, as mentioned in the description. You can pay to ride a horse up part of the trail and down for 80 soles each way; however, you will still need to be in good physical condition to hike the rest of the way up to the lake and the rest of the way down from the lake. Breakfast and lunch were very good. Beautiful spot to stop. Guide on this tour only speaks Spanish unless they know you only speak English. Be prepared for all weather conditions. Excellent experience!

The trek was difficult but our guide Heber Forever helped with his magical “condor pee”, which seems to be a mix of Peruvian flowers and alcohol which you rub on your hands and inhale to open up your airways. Walking stick also came in handy. Overall the tour was very good value for money with breakfast, lunch and 6 hours of driving in a mini van. The drive goes through some very steep bendy tracks, but never felt unsafe with the driver who was very careful. Heber knew all the history of the lake and all the best spots and techniques for photos, and he made the experience memorable with his wit. Totally worth it!

Wally's expertise and passion for the Humantay Lake tour made our experience exceptional. His insightful commentary and deep knowledge of the area added a rich layer of understanding to the stunning natural beauty we encountered. Wally's friendly demeanor and attentiveness to our group's needs ensured that everyone felt engaged and cared for throughout the journey. His enthusiasm was contagious, making the tour not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable. I highly recommend Wally as a tour guide for anyone looking to explore the breathtaking Humantay Lake region.

Such an amazing trip from Cusco into the region of where Humantay Lake is located at.
The bus that Chullos Travel Peru used was the best that I've seen in the city, very nice and comfortable ride(accounting for the bumpiness of going up a mountain!)
My tour guide - Wally had such a great positive attitude and made some great jokes along the way. He was very considerate of everyone, and had a great skill of keeping everyone going - especially during the hike up the mountain to the lake.
The hike up to the laguna can be quite difficult, but there is no race to the top, and there was no rush or feeling of being rushed with anything during the entire time of the excursion.
Breakfast and lunch were provided, and was more than enough to account for the physical exertion that is required. Both breakfast and lunch are at a small restaurant in a remote town on the wall to the lake. The lunch on the way back was one of the most picture-esq memories that I have from my entire trip in Peru. Overlooking the mountains and hearing the intoxicating sounds of parakeets flying through the valley as you bask in the experience is something hard to put into words.
I would advise that if you are not in good physical shape, the hike will wipe you out. Because of the elevation(over 14,000 feet) and consistent uphill hike for over an hour, it was very exhausting, but it is worth it at the top.
The price is very reasonable and it is good to see that a lot of the money that is used for the cost of the trip benefits people native to the Cusco region.
Great time and memories that I will never forget! Thank you Wally and team!

I could not recommend this tour more. Our group had been separated due to separate bookings and Wally made sure that we were all together in the same group by taking in extra group members so we could be together. We stopped at the most beautiful lookout place for breakfast and lunch, the views were incredible! Wally made the sacred offering very special and meaningful, took wonderful pictures of our group in front of the beautiful lake, and explained so many interesting aspects of the lake to us. Wally made this experience unforgettable and our experience definitely would not have been the same without him. He helped us take horses up to the top because we were worried about the altitude, it was 80 soles and so worth it, it was surreal! We enjoyed this tour and loved Wally so much we booked rainbow mountain with him for the next day. 10/10 recommend Wally for Lake Humantay!!!

This was one of the most amazing experience in my entire lifetime! The excursion to Humatay Lake is something that everyone should do in Cusco and especially with Everforever. They did such great job communicating the itinerary, planning the entire trip out and giving us best explanation about the history. On top of that, the trip came with delicious local buffet. I rarely write reviews, but this one I had to write it because of how awesome everything was.

This was an amazing excursion, especially for the price! In addition to getting to experience Humantay Lake and learn a little about it from your tour guide, this excursion includes pick up from your hotel, bus rides there and back, and breakfast & lunch! My group was fun and lively, and the tour guide Wally was THE BEST! He made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time! I would recommend this trip 10000/10!

I was part of a group tour to Humantay Lake led by Heber Forever and it was a fantastic time with him and the group. Heber was a first rate guide keeping things on schedule and running smoothly while attending to every need of each person in the group. He was kind and attentive guide that made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout our journey to, up to the Lake, and back to Cusco. Not to mention the driver was also very professional and safe. Heber is a great guide who I would highly recommend to anyone interested in visiting Humantay Lake since he’s professional, friendly, and all around someone who will make it a better experience for everyone under his care.

We had a fantastic time on our journey to Lake Humantay! We enjoyed a nice breakfast on the way up (about an hour into the trip). To echo what many others have said, our guide HEBER FOREVER was the best. A+++. He really made the group feel excited about our adventure and was helpful to anyone in need. My wife and I highly recommend this tour! You will come back to Cusco happy, tired and amazed by the beauty of this lake and the surrounding mountains.
