Great time at Humantay Lake

We went with Wayra and he was great. Very knowledgeable about the area and also just a really nice person 100%. We would book with him again and we totally would have gone on another trip if we had time on our Peru trip. 10 out of 10.

Experience

Heber Forever - gave sufficient time for picture and view time at the top. When we didn’t have enough cash on us for the horse ride up, he did offer to cover for us and we can do card with him later. Overall helpful and well thought out trip/pace

Good tour

Punctual, very charismatic guide, and the tour was very cool; the guide Tito was excellent. The only thing is that they should give more time up at the lagoon to be able to take photos calmly and appreciate the view.

Excellent! We did the tour with Heber Forever and were delighted. The guide recommended the best spot for photos, helped us take them, and was always very attentive to us. Recommended.

10/10!

The guide was fantastic and shared stories about the region’s Andean legends. The lake? Beyond words. Just sit, breathe, and take it all in. It’s that kind of place. And the included meals were much better than I expected.

Terrible Experience

Wish we could go back and not do this tour. There were so many issues. 1. The operator advised there was a closure and we needed to go to another place so we needed to pay more. 2. We wanted to cancel later on but apparently it was too late, but they gave a strange reason why we couldn't cancel. 3. The tour operator was late for pickup. 4. When we were hiking, we were hiking alone for a large majority of the time. 5. We were supposed to have time to soak in the hot springs, but that never happened. 6. They bring you to a place with bathrooms, but there are no seats and you'll have to pay for TP. Hopefully you don't have to go during your hike. 7. The tour operator sent us a link to pay, but sent us the wrong amount and we were essentially held hostage at the end of the night until we fixed the amount. Oh good. I could go on, but I would simply never book with this tour company ever again.

Up to Humantay

During the tour, guide Alex and driver Willie generated a good accompaniment from the moment you are picked up at the hotel and during the journey from the Humantay lagoon. They keep an eye on your health and give you tips for the ascent and descent of the mountain. Transportation and restaurant service is spectacular.

Operator response

Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Nos alegra mucho saber que su tour a la Laguna Humantay fue tan satisfactorio y que se sintió bien acompañado desde el inicio. Alex y Willie estarán muy contentos y agradecidos por sus palabras. Su compromiso con la seguridad, el bienestar de los viajeros y la atención durante todo el recorrido realmente marcan la diferencia, especialmente en rutas de altura como Humantay. También nos alegra saber que el transporte y el servicio de alimentación cumplieron sus expectativas. Agradecemos sinceramente su confianza en nosotros. Fue un placer ser parte de su experiencia, y esperamos poder recibirlo nuevamente para otra aventura inolvidable en el Perú.
