Awesome! - Everything was great and our guide Alex was awesome. Our van broke down but he acted quickly and helped us get to our location on time. Also, he checked in with people on the hike which was very sweet. Overall, great experience

Must do - Great hike although challenging. The guide was good. The hike is at your own pace and the guide sets up meeting spots for the group to regroup and head back down to the transport. Breakfast/lunch is decent food.

Wonderful humanatay lake tour - We had an incredible time! Driver Alfredo was amazing and safe but got us there in great times! Tour guide Jonathan was incredible helping all of us. He was going back and forth as the tour seperated because everyone hikes different paces and some took horses. Definitely recommend and worth the trip! Long day but worth it. The restaurant chosen for breakfast and lunch was great too. I got quite sick from the altitude and Jonathan kept checking in on me making sure we were all okay and letting us know meeting points etc.

Great tour to Humantay lake - Great day tour to Humantay Lake. We chose to hike and the hike was challenging but we were rewarded with amazing views of the lake and mountain at the top. Some people chose to ride a horse instead of hiking. Our guide Judith was good with time management and the breakfast and lunch buffet was delicious.

Successful day trip - We were picked up in the morning at our Hostel and driven to the mega delicious breakfast buffet🤗 Afterwards we continued with our nice guide “Heber”, who was very friendly and not intrusive or annoying. The lake was beautiful and the hike is completely feasible. We were up in 1 hour 👆 Lunch was then back in the same restaurant and again Mega generous and delicious 😋 The “Heber for ever” family was very fun and is highly recommended.

Dangerous landslide area to traverse to start trek. - Very unsafe due to landslide damage. Add an extra 40 min each way to traverse a landslide area. And if it rains. Then the landslide area becomes incredibly unsafe. And dangerous. Add an extra 2 hours to your expected time to finish. Because of the landslide and dangerous traverse. The guide Alex was amazing. The actual trek hard. But worthwhile for the lake. Breakfast and lunch both great. The only issue is they don’t warn you about the landslide. The extra walking or the dangers of it rains.
