5.00My full day trip to Lake Humantay with Machu Picchu 360 experience was incredible! The early start was worth it, the hike was challenging but rewarding with stunning Mountain Views and crystal blue waters at the top. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made sure everyone went at their own pace. The breakfast and lunch stops were great too. Highly recommend this tour.
Beautiful views and excellent guide

5.00Did this full day trek to Lake Humantay from Cusco and it was perfect. Although the hike towards the end got a little difficult due to altitude but the guide was very patient and gave us plenty of time to recover and continue, we never felt rushed. The view from the top was out worldly and the guide also explained the process of how the Incas organized their rituals here.
Outworldly beauty

5.00Long hike but well worth the effort. The experience was very nice and the staff right from the booking till driving me back to my hotel were incredibly nice and helpful. I did fel a bit shirt of breath as we got closer to the lake but the guide was quick to assist me and accompanied me all the way up to the lake ensuring that i did not have any issue. They did have an option of renting a horse but i didn´t feel it quite needful as the hike was through beautiful sites and i did have plenty of stop along the way to click photos. Would highly recommend spending a few days and acclimatizing well before doing the trek.
Nice guide and spectacular views

5.00We did this Humantay Lake tour with Saul (our guide) and every moment of the trip was crafted exceptionally. We had nice breakfast and lunch during the tour and Saul did a remarkable work in explaining the prominence of the lake and mountains in the Incan mythology.

5.00After a much thoughful decision I chose to visit the Humantay lake as I was unsure of hiking at that high altitude. It was the best decision I made, this is truly a hidden gem and an unmissable place in Cusco. Machu Picchu 360 was very much attentive to details and did everything to make this trip a memorable one.
