Humanatay Lake Tour
Would recommend this tour, amazing views and history. Organization was very good for the most part too. Our tour guide was Wayra, he spoke great English and made sure we all made it up the mountain safely. However, on the way back down he did a poor job of collecting the group, myself and my partner were left at the top of the mountain and had to descend by ourselves not knowing where our group was which was dangerous. Next time would be good if the tour guide made sure everyone was with the group before descending. Other than this, it was a great trip.

Excellent experience at Humantay Lake. The tour was well organized and our guide WAYRA was key: attentive, motivating, and always looking out for the group during the climb. Thanks to him, the hike was more bearable and safe. Totally recommended.

Excellent condition of the van and a very good driver, William. Punctual at the meeting point. Good breakfast and good lunch. Transparent with all the information. The horses were very good. And the guide Wilfredo, the best of all, was organized, careful, concerned, kind, and explained to us about the history of the lagoon and the flora and fauna.
