Meals: You have breakfast and lunch in the same place and I have to say that the food and the place are VERY GOOD. They have everything perfectly organized and it is always stocked; the people in charge are attentive to the service. TRANSPORTATION: they did not have air conditioning but they had blankets available for the cold, which was not so good when it was hot. In general, the experience was good and I DO recommend the tour with them; I went with other operators and the experience was terrible.
We were lucky enough to get Alex as our guide, he made the experience fun and educational. He speaks amazing English so if you're like me (only know a little Spanish) you will love how he makes you feel like family.
Humantay Lake was more beautiful than I imagined. The trail is steep at times, but the scenery makes the hike enjoyable. Reaching the lake felt like stepping into another world with its bright colors and peaceful atmosphere. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. It’s a great full-day adventure from Cusco for nature lovers.

The hike to Humantay Lake was a good challenge, but the views were amazing throughout. Standing by the lake with the mountains behind it felt magical. The guide made sure we were comfortable and safe, and shared great insights. It’s a trip I would definitely recommend.
For anyone visiting Cusco, Humantay Lake is a must-see. The journey begins with mountain views and peaceful landscapes. The trail takes some effort, but the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. When you reach the lake, the colors and reflections feel unreal.
An incredible day filled with adventure, effort, and reward! The hike to Humantay Lake tested my limits, but standing at the edge of that crystal-clear water made it all worth it. The guide’s stories about the Andean gods added a special spiritual touch to the experience.
The organization of this excursion was excellent 👌. Pick-up, meals, and guidance were all well planned. The highlight, of course, was reaching Humantay Lake with its surreal colors. It’s one of those places that photos can’t fully capture.
Very good experience in conjunction with all organizations to access the lagoon (hotel pickup, breakfast and lunch) all very well organized and entertaining.
Agradecemos mucho tu opinión. Fue un placer para nosotros formar parte de esta aventura. Todo el equipo de Machu Picchu Journey está muy contento con su opinión, nos motiva a seguir trabajando para brindar este tipo de experiencias Hasta la próxima.
It was a very good experience. Martial, our guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. We were picked up at the indicated time and everything went as the tour description on the website. Breakfast and lunch buffet is an excellent option and is very varied, typical and rich. If they come after rainy season it is not necessary to warm up so much, the climb raises your body temperature necessary not to feel cold. Packing light is the best option, carry snacks and water. A highly recommended tour.
Wonderful experience, the guide very friendly at all times, the Lagoon is beautiful and allowed us to enjoy it a long time, good food and clean transportation, respecting the necessary protocols
