Like a picture! - We did Humantay Lake. Our guide jhordy was very good and helped us taking photos and explained everything about the site. William our driver did a great job driving us up the mountain on serpentine road. The site can only be described as a picture with snow mountain, waterfall and turquoise water. This day trip is recommended. Thanks SAM Travel and crew!

It's worth going! - The tour starts very early, I was picked up at the hostel, the first stop is for breakfast, no luxuries but it is possible to eat well and with common foods of the region, a great immersion, the trail is difficult, well ingreme and the altitude worsenes everything, but the arrival is impressive, place with a beautiful energy and super well cared for. On the way we stop for lunch and the experience is similar to the coffee, it is worth knowing the local food.

One of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen! - Where to start? Well... start at the horse! Rsrsr what an amazing place!!! But being honest, it's painful to get there! We started the walk at 4 a.m. with the guide looking for us at the hotel. We traveled a few kilometers of well winding stays, (for those who have a weak stomach, take vonal or something of the kind) an average of 3 hours of van to the place. Arriving there, it is a tough muuuuito road to reach the lagoon. Precarious bathrooms, and poor structure to welcome tourists. We walked all the way (average 3 hours) walking with Cajado. It was tired beeem, altitude 4.200 above sea level! It was punk kkkk... I suggest catching a horse right at the beginning of the trail in case you don't want to make such an effort! But even with So perrengue indicate the walk! The lagoon is beautiful, one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen!

An EXCELLENT experience in CUSCO. It's worth it... but be careful of the altitude! - It's a challenge for anyone. We had a nice coffee halfway and lunch on the way. Vc needs an optimal physical preparation to overcome the climbing distance (4 km), which is quite difficult because it has a large altitude. The descent of 4 km is very difficult too. But it is very worth it because the LAGUNA is wonderfully beautiful. We stayed up there for about an hour and a half.

Amazing Humantay - The trekking to the lagoon was hard but amazing ; the lagoon is beautiful with the imposing snow mountain protecting it. We will definitely be back

LAGUNA HUMANTAY - It is an excellent landscape, with a beautiful view. However, the trail is considered advanced. It is more than two hours of climbing under stones at a height of more than 4 thousand meters. It takes physical conditioning to the extreme.There are mules that help, but clearly they don't want to do it rs found a little dangerous for people unusual to this type of adventure. We went with guide Milton.

Walking to the lagoon - Risk living the experience of the walk!!! It seems impossible but slowly and slowly, it is achieved. The satisfaction is enormous!
