Humantay lake Day Trip from Cusco

Posted By : Marek_Z
It’s super nice place and views are amazing but you need to get up early and the food for breakfast and lunch is always the same in these stations - but overall it’s positive experience

Good tour - early start in the morning but well worthwhile. Breakfast and lunch options were fine - would recommend.

The tour departs early at 4 am from Cusco. It includes breakfast and lunch on return.
With regard to trekking it takes an hour and a half to climb and a little less to get down. The climb is steep and you have to understand that the altitude does not help oxygenate well, it is not any hike requires this opto physically.
The recommendation would be to do the horse climb for 80 suns if one is not trained but it should be clarified that you only climb then you have to walk down and although it is easier also requires your physical requirement as I said for the altitude conditions.
One way or another do not miss reaching the lagoon is worth 100 percent!!!

The path to the lake was not steep and the guide Javier, very attentive, recommended us the horse that was essential. Also recommended us the best photos sites, it was all great.

We had an amazing time! Our guide Gilthon was extremely helpful and took some great photos of us at the lake. It snowed on our hike so it was a little slick, but our guide was very helpful in making sure everyone had help during slick sections of the hike.

The trail is a little difficult, but it is possible to do it calmly and stopping, considering that the guide accompanies the last person in the group. Additionally, it is possible to rent a horse to go up and down. But I recommend doing the trail on foot, to better enjoy the path and the landscapes. We stopped for a few minutes at the lagoon and had time for photos and rest. The guide Javier Pro was very attentive and careful with the group, especially with my mother, who has wear and tear problems on her knees and had a little more difficulty getting down.

Amazing experience. Travel Company does a great job. Humberto(?) was our Guide, and he was AMAZING. Truly special person.

Pickup is early. You’ll go to a restaurant on the way for breakfast buffet and lunch after the tour (included in the price). Trip from Cusco is ~2 hours, and another 1+ hour to wind up the mountain to the starting point. That road is very small, bumpy and curvy, so take motion sickness meds if you are at all pre-disposed to it.

Hike is strenuous. Roughly 1.5 hours up. You can rent horses (more like burros) for 80 Sol each way. Would recommend for the trip up, if you don’t want (or can’t) make the hike. Down is fine, just slippery on loose rock.

Make sure to wear hiking shoes. You are walking on rocks most of the time, and it would be very easy to twist an ankle.

Lake itself is extremely beautiful and well worth it. Others on our tour who saw our pics (but didn’t go on the hike) were jealous - and for good reason!

Despite I asked 5 times the day before about pick up time and woke up at 3:50am the day of the tour, texted a few more times, called, waited until 4:50am, the tour operator NEVER RESPONDED and NEVER SHOWED UP. Just terrible. Avoid at all cost.
