A perfect day hike with Edward

5.00Had a trip of a lifetime with Edward, our guide. The hike was somewhat challenging towards the end but totally rewarding. They had an option of riding a horse to the summiot, but i preffered hiking. Edward shared many interesting facts about the local culture and beliefs. Highly recommend the tour and the tour company.
Incredible Hike

5.00An incredible tour with breathtaking views we’ll never forget. I almost gave up hiking, but the 2hrs hike was all worth it after seeing such beauty. Reaching the lagoon is an indescribable feeling. Its bright turquoise blue water, colored by glacier minerals, contrasts beautifully with the surrounding snow-capped mountains. Carlos was an excellent guide kind, funny, and he captured some great pictures of us along the way. I loved it.

5.00Trip to Humantay Lake was a once and a lifetime experience. The view of the lake is very beautiful and you can enjoy the contrast of green blue and white from the mountains. The trekking is hard but the view really worth it. I made it to the lake in 47 minutes, but this is not the norm. I enjoyed every moment of it. Highly recommend.
Stunning Lake

5.00The Humantay Lack was one of the most shocking experiences I have ever experienced. The color of the lagoon is beautiful, accompanied by an imposing snow-capped mountain. The view from this place is wonderful, flawless, but the climb is quite difficult; the altitude makes the ascent very challenging. But you can ride on horseback if you prefer. The meals were served at a wonderful mountainside location, with a fantastic view.

5.00I loved the hike and everything I experienced there. It was a super amazing experience with the Alex guide. The color of the lagoon is beautiful, accompanied by an imposing snow-capped mountain. A place of great peace. Everything was well organized, and Alex made sure the group stayed safe and moved at a comfortable pace for everyone. The experience was great, and the guide made it even better.

5.00Our trip Humantay Lack was absolutely amazing! The views and overall experience were unforgettable. but there's a long road to travel behind this beauty, though it's worth it. Edwin, our guide, was amazing. We loved his energy and positive attitude. He was very collaborative and had a deep knowledge of the history, which made the trip even more special. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear and bring water to stay hydrated. Would highly recommend.

5.00Spectacular! Picked up directly from the hotel in a comfortable van. Enjoyed delicious breakfast and lunch buffets, and the experience ended with a meaningful group spiritual moment at the summit. Andre was an outstanding guide professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very attentive to everyone in the group. The view is super beautiful. Great place to hike and enjoy nature beauty. It's worth every second....
An Unforgettable Journey into the Andes

5.00Humantay Lake is the most beautiful lake i have saw in life. If you’re ready for an adventure, don’t miss this spot! Hike to the top is about hour and a half. Just stay hydrated and control your breathing, because when you reach the lagoon, you'll know all your effort was worth it. Once at the top, you have a gorgeous lake with an amazing mountain above, but spectacular views on the way back down. Enjoyed the hike with Edwin as our guide and really appreciated the lunch that was provided.

Humantay Lake: A True Natural Wonder

5.00Humantay Lake tour was an amazing experience! The lake was stunning and there are many places to take photos without other people showing up on them. A breathtaking view of a Lagoon situated at 4200m over sea level. AMAZING!! You'll feel a great satisfaction after finishing that climb and resting while enjoying the snowed mountains surrounding the turquoise lake! Take some time when you get there to find a place to sit and just soak it in.
