Excursión de día completo al Lago Humantay desde Cusco con almuerzo

If you’re reading reviews before booking a private tour, I hope this saves you both time and money. I booked a private Humantay Lake tour with this business for late June. The total cost was $450 for two people (and that didn’t even include the guide’s tip). First, don’t assume you have to book online. Once you’re in Cusco, you’ll find plenty of locals offering private tours, and you can negotiate. The cheapest quote I found was around $150, so this company is definitely overpriced. Now for my experience: When I booked, I messaged them that I was staying in the Sacred Valley and not Cusco and if pickup is available there. They confirmed that this was fine and that they would pick us up from our hotel at 4:00 a.m. Then, at 8:00 p.m. the night before the tour (just seven hours before pickup) they suddenly messaged me saying I needed to be at a plaza in Cusco by 3:50 a.m. When I reminded them that my hotel was in the Sacred Valley and showed them our previous messages, they claimed it had been a “miscommunication” and told me to cancel the tour. This was a short trip with every day carefully planned, so imagine having your tour canceled at the last minute and being expected to figure everything out on your own. Fortunately, my hotel was able to arrange another private tour on short notice. It included a private guide, private driver, hotel pickup at 7:00 a.m., and lunch—for $250 total, including the tip! Save your money and book elsewhere. This company was expensive, unprofessional, and careless with their customers’ time.

The Humantay trail is very challenging, especially the climb, with the cold of the beginning of the day and the question of altitude. But I was very happy to be able to finish it. Our guide was Jehomar, very attentive from the beginning of the tour and search at the hotel, as well as during the trail and at the end of it.

Wonderful staff, Junior guide and driver Jhon, very solicited and attentive. The ride was fast, but I super understand the distance between regions. Super worth it, I recommend the operator.

It’s good! Mila is very nice. She found my lost bag and give it back to me. Riding horse is amazing.

Wow! We had a brilliant day - exhausting but brilliant. With a super early start and a bumpy two hour ride to breakfast, we started to wonder if we had made the right choice. Breakfast was great and a good opportunity to get to know the rest of the group. We then continued up the winding road to the start of our hike. Rodger, our guide and McQueen, the driver were lovely and helped to make the day really special. Rodger is so knowledgeable, funny and kind and we felt safe and cared for throughout the experience. He helped and encouraged us when we got tired and encouraged us to rest whenever we needed to. I had no intention of taking a horse initially but by the time we got there, I looked up at the rest of the climb and decided to follow the others in taking a horse - best $20 dollars I spent on the trip! My husband thought he would try walking but after five minutes practically begged for a horse! As we reached the top, we were welcomed by two condors flying over the beautiful lake - simply incredible! The lake is one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever seen - a memory that I will cherish forever. Thank you Rodger!

The staff of the Machu Picchu travel agency was impeccable from the beginning of the purchase of the package until the moment of shipping back to Brazil. Super detailists, they made an impeccable script for me and my friend. They sent our script in PDF, detailed. Daily, they sent messages on WhatsApp with important information about the tour the next day. They gave me backing when I needed to. They always answered my requests. Note 10!

Incredible experience. One of the most beautiful places I've ever met in my life. The trail is quite exhaustive. Altitude is a very important factor to consider. But it is worth it, as the tour is charming throughout its journey. And in the end we are rewarded with the view of the lagoon. Very important to take precautions for altitude. There is the possibility of performing the horse trail.

Very good trail and the view even better, it was all perfect and we still counted on a snow on arrival to complete the tour
