I visited Humantay Lake and it was a truly beautiful experience. It is a very beautiful place, perfect for disconnecting and enjoying nature. The landscape is impressive and it is definitely worth visiting. The hike has a moderate level: it is not too difficult, but it is a bit demanding, so I recommend bringing water and wearing light clothing. For those who prefer to avoid the hike, there is also the option of going up on horseback, which makes the trip much more comfortable. The tour starts early, but it is really worth it. In addition, Evelyn, our guide, was very attentive and kind; she was always aware of what we needed and that everything went well, which made the experience even more comfortable and pleasant. Without a doubt, it is a place I would return to 💙
