5.00I did a hike through Humantay lake with Judith! It was well organized, positive, and a great experience. Judith is knowledgeable about the site & trail. Also, Judith was so motivating and positive. It was great because this was a very challenging hike and having someone there to set a pace and support our group was wonderful. It was one of my favorite parts on my trip of Peru! Judith also took beautiful photos on our phones for us.
Worth the challenge!

5.00We had an incredible time on our Lake Humantay hike thanks to our guide, Ronald. From the very beginning, he made us feel completely taken care of. He clearly explained the whole process, what to expect, and checked in with everyone throughout the journey. Ronald was extremely informative, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made the experience feel smooth and enjoyable, and we never felt rushed at any point. It was also great that everything was already included in the price, so we didn’t have to worry about any extras. If you’re thinking of doing the Lake Humantay hike, I highly recommend choosing Ronald as your guide—he truly made the day unforgettable!
Beautiful!!!

5.00Ronald was a great leader for this hike, he made us feel very comfortable in the high altitude . He was able to find the non touristy picture spots since it was quite crowded at the top, he is also a great photographer!

5.00My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our hike to Humantay Lake in April, but found the hike to extra challenging because of mudslides in the area, as well as the effects of altitude sickness. Our guides, Roland and Ronald - were great! We would recommend this hike and trip to others - but be prepared for a challenge!

5.00The hike was definitely challenging because of the altitude. But our group had a great time! Judy was an awesome guide and the views were incredible. Our group hired private chefs for us and made breakfast before our hike and had lunch ready afterwards, that was an incredible bonus!
