It was a great experience, the guide was very responsive and helpful, the food was delicious and the vehicle modern. A must do, totally recommended!!
There is nothing like an incredible lagoon, it is worth all the sacrifice of climbing the mountain as the landscape is incredibly beautiful.
Humantay lake was one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing with my own two eyes. The hike up was tough but a good challenge and the descent was incredibly fun. The location gets 5/5. Unfortunately our tour guide was not as great. I was seated next to him on the shuttle ride to and from Humantay. He looked hungover and we had to stop very quickly into the trip over so (I’m guessing) he could use the restroom. After we continued on the trip he proceeded to fall asleep and continuously bump into me and even fell over with his head on my shoulder. This continued for 2 hours to our breakfast spot. After breakfast he continued to fall asleep on me on the way to Humantay. Once we got there he proceeded to give us very little guidance or direction on the path to take up. We had to follow other groups up to know the path. Once we were up there he explained the history of the area briefly for 15 minutes after we had time to take pictures and then started the descent. On the trip back he again fell asleep on me and I started lightly shoving him off me and he didn’t notice in the slightest. After lunch on the trip back I finally shook him awake (which took a surprising amount of effort) and asked him to please get off of me. He did. For 5 minutes. Before falling asleep on me again. At this point I was fed up and started shoulder checking him off of me which he again didn’t seem to notice. The commute to and from humantay was incredibly unprofessional and downright miserable considering I was awake from 3am to 7pm (2 hours later than we were supposed to return) due to a man repeatedly sleeping on me. I would recommend booking Humantay through a company other than Trip Advisor.
Incredible tour, guide Fredy accompanied the group to and from the mountain, always concerned and attentive to everyone's health and well-being. I recommend.
In total it was great! But - The agency has told the guide another pick up location than us. The agency was also not reachable. We were 7 people - one older woman was riding the horse. I don’t know if it is common but the guide was with here instead with us - the people who were climbing up the mountain. Don’t underestimate the altitude and slope
The tour was great. Bit changeling but breathtaking at the top. Food was good too and special thanks to driver Antonio y our gia Havier and training gia Mery!
The tour to the lagoon is excellent, our guide Jeferson was very helpful and attentive, always giving us the best tips, including for photos. The climb, as it is quite steep, requires a certain amount of physical preparation.
Everything perfect, the guide very attentive and do not take tourists to shops with agreements. The food in the restaurant is also very good.

It makes us really happy to read such a nice feedback! We are glad to know you had a great experience with us! We look forward to our next adventure together!
It 's a very valid experience , the view of the lagoon is beautiful , and the path itself too . Indicated for those who are willing to trekking and like natural beauties , because it really requires energy for the climb and the movement to the pond , but it is very worth it !
Ficamos muito felizes em saber que o esforço valeu a pena para você e que a sua experiência foi positiva! Estamos ansiosos para a nossa próxima aventura juntos!
