In the positive side, our guide was a good man who spoke some English and knew the details of the area and our trip. On the down side, a few surprises arose. First, Viator quoted 60 sole, then 80 sole per horse. We were charged 90. Second, the tour included oxygen but was never offered even though members were clearly in need. Third, the tour included homemade sticks which we needed for the descent. When we asked for them they were not included. I fell twice on the descent. Lastly we had to pay 20 Sole each for the tickets which was not clearly stated.
I had such a wonderful experience getting to walk up to Humantay Lake with the best tour guide around. Made the walk up to the lake feel easy and was full of knowledge. Will book a tour with them the next time I’m in town. Must do tour with Edwar.
The experience was absolutely worthwhile. We had an early start, which was wonderful because we were able to get to the lake before the other tourists. Our guide, Edwar, was very helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. Also, our driver, Will, was very safe and experienced! I would recommend this tour and would do it again!

We had a Humantay lake excursion with Alex and Chullos Travel Peru, and I like everything from A to Z: - comfortable buses, - excellent guide, friendly and accommodating, - delicious breakfast and lunch in the wonderful Casa Salkantay. The trip is very good value, I am happy :) Thank you!
Francesco has the kindness, the helpfulness, and the incredible power of teleportation. He connected us with Apu Humantay and Laguna Humantay in this wonderful place. Thank you so much! Our driver, Kevin, was amazing during a very very difficult road.
Franchesco was an amazing guide. Super friendly and called everyone his friend. He was accommodating and would wait behind to make sure everyone made it up and down. I would definitely recommend him, he made the experience!
We had an incredible experience from the clear communication to the entire hike. Alex was a wonderful tour guide and we would recommend this experience for all!
Our guide Franchesco was amazing not only with getting us to the Humantay Lake safely but with his great details about the lake and also overall communication from pick up to drop off. Very Efficient and respectful individual.
