“It was incredible! The hike was HARD but as soon as we got there, I honestly couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. Our guide Taco was amazing + was so informative + kept us updated the whole time. Very worth it!!”
A 4 a.m. day trip from Cusco to Humantay Lake with breakfast and lunch, bilingual guides, and big views of Salkantay.
“What an excellent tour! This was one of the most difficult hikes I've done in my life, and I ended up being in the very back of the group. However, my tour guide Jonathan stayed close by and kept encouraging me to keep going and to not give up. What an incredible guide, I'm so grateful to him. As a photographer, I also took some incredible shots. Thank you!!”

A full day guided hike to Humantay Lake from Cusco, with early hotel pickup, transfers, meals, and a small group trek to glacier views.
“Tour was awesome. Pick up perfectly on time. Our tour guide Luz was above and beyond , she was perfect. She answered all questions we were asking and most important she helped us to get all the way to the top because at the beginning of the climb I was struggling. Thank you Luz and I hope we meet again on some other tour.”
Humantay Lake from Cusco with an early pickup, small-group hike to 4,250 m, and included breakfast and lunch, plus Apus ritual.
“Unbelievably beautiful virgin nature, memory for all life. Tried water from stream, so good! Just be careful with latitude, I went to trip in 4 hours after airport and did not sleep, honestly physically was not easy. But mentally is fantastically and I forgot about my symptoms. Coca tea helps, but better be prepared well before trip.”
Guided full-day trek from Cusco to Humantay Lake, with breakfast, lunch, transport, and Inca history. Early start, steep altitude hike.
“A Laguna Humantay é uma das paisagens mais lindas que já tive a oportunidade de admirar. A subida da montanha é íngreme e com alguns obstáculos, mas bem possível de fazer. Quanto a empresa que nos guiou até lá, deixou bastante a desejar. Difícil comunicação e demora nos retornos com as instruções do passeio. Nosso guia Fred além de fazer brincadeiras vulgares referente aos brasileiros, a todo o momento parecia querer nos desmotivar a subir a pé, para que pegássemos (e pagássemos por) cavalos. Tínhamos 2 senhoras no grupo, e o guia em nenhum momento ofereceu suporte ou ajudar para elas, pelo contrário, muitas vezes andava bem a frente ou…”
7 days in Cusco with Machu Picchu private guide, Sacred Valley, Humantay Lake, Maras and Moray, and Vinicunca rainbow mountain hikes.
“We had an amazing trip all of our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.”
2-day Humantay Lake trek from Cusco with Sky Camp glamping: small-group transport, included meals, poles, sleeping bag, Salkantay Pass.
“We picked this tour as it mentioned that it had a MAXIMUM of 10 participants (as we prefer small groups) but we were 19! We were the first to be picked up at 4.20am and spent the next 35/40mins picking up other people around Cusco. Therefore it added more time to the journey. It was a rough start but the rest of the day went as planned. Humantay lake is challenging but definitely worth it!”
Hike to Laguna Humantay from Cusco with a small group, bilingual guide, breakfast and lunch, plus big views of Humantay and Salkantay.
“Humantay lake trek was very enjoyable and a very nice exercise, but I can see how it can be a lot especially if you are older. There are horses available which will take you up the mountains up to a certain height for 80-90 soles. Our tour was the day after we came back from Machu Picchu so we were quite tired but managed to wake up on time and had a great time. One of the best tours during our trip Decided to take a day off after this trek (which we didn’t plan on but our schedule was quite packed to begin with) as it is quite demanding…”

“Jesse was amazing. Best guide! Good English. I’m solo, and assisted me with pictures. Grateful for her!”
Small-group 4-day Cusco trip packing Rainbow Mountain, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley culture, and Humantay Lake with English guidance and early starts.
“My fiancé and I had an amazing experience with this tour. It was so nice having all of our itineraries and transportation planned for us when we arrived in Peru (from the US). We had 3 different, fantastic tour guides. First, Rosbel took us on tours of the sacred valley and Machu Picchu. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient with us and our small group. Somehow he had an answer to every question I asked, no matter how random. He was so well organized and handled the many logistics of our trip so well - we never had to worry. We hiked Lake Humantay with Jacob, who was incredibly…”
