tour of the humantay lagoon - highly recommended excellent place, we left very early from the cusco hotel, good service the guided very good, the food very good

Had to Pivot to Seven Lagoons of Ausungate due to Landslides - Would Still Recommend! - Unfortunately, we were unable to do Humantay Lake due to landslides in the area when we visited Peru in late March 2025. Viator’s partner for this excursion - Willka Travel - was extremely supportive and communicative through the whole process though! They informed us of the closure a few days before, and offered us Rainbow Mountain (we which had already booked for later) or the Seven Lagoons of Ausangate, which we opted to do. We were picked up at 4:00 AM and given the rundown, then given time to sleep a bit on the drive into the mountains. Raul, our driver, was wonderful, and expertly handled some of the spooky mountain roads in Peru. It was pretty easy to sleep, but if you get motion sickness, some Dramamine can be helpful. Once we got the base camp site, breakfast was provided. It was nice and light for the hike ahead, and they had coffee and tea. Also, local vendors were there selling sweaters and scarfs. It was EXTREMELY cold at points, so as everyone says - wear layers! It’s also a good idea to have some small denominations of cash for the restroom or small items. Our guide, Jenkins, did a great job explaining the trek ahead, and then allowed everyone to move at their own pace, with a rendezvous point at the first lagoon. Jenkins did the tour in both English and Spanish, and was incredibly thoughtful and kind throughout. He was extremely informative and also had some practical insights for managing the trail. We are fairly experienced hikers, but this was TOUGH. The combination of the altitude and incline at the beginning of the trail are brutal, but once you get to the first lagoon, it evens out. The lagoons themselves are beautiful and unique, but more amazing are the views of the glaciers behind. Absolutely stunning stuff, and well worth the difficult hike. It was a challenging but rewarding experience! Definitely recommend it, but come ready for a tough trek!

Challenging but worth visiting - It was really great! The views are incredible. The path is a little bit difficult to hike but you can get to the top on horseback. Landscape is beautiful. Our guide was Javier Pro and he was really helpful, nice, professional. I had a great time.

Best tour with the best Guide! - The place is spectacular, there is nothing to talk about, it is a unique walk! Our Guide, Ciro, was sensational, very helpful, guided and accompanied us all the time! Super worth it!

Breathtaking View! - Definitely a breathtaking view of the lake. The hike was worth it! Our tour guide Hilton was nice and checked up on everyone during the hike to make sure we were doing fine with the altitude. Definitely recommend this hike!

Great tour! - Great experience, the tour meets the set. We left very early and arrived earlier than most of the tourists, had about 10 people only when we arrived at the lake. Highlight to the Guide Robinson who was very caring and helped with everything we needed.

Young adults must do it! - Amazing experience! My kids (20 and 17 yo) loved it! They will cherish this experience their whole life

CLIMBING IS NOT EASY, BUT IT IS WORTH ALL!! - First of all: YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED. The climb is pretty tough. Apart from when we went the parking lots were closed by a huaico and we had to walk even more. Acclimate to the height quite a lot and go patiently, there is no rush. It manages to climb and is worth it, but it is quite heavy. Both the Guide and the driver were very friendly and the Guide's explanation in the lagoon was very interesting, only after almost two days of climbing, I would have liked us to be a little more in the lagoon. Somewhere the Guide disappeared during the ascent and you didn't know if you were on the right track or who to turn to if you needed anything. Very good food!

Great views - It’s super nice place and views are amazing but you need to get up early and the food for breakfast and lunch is always the same in these stations - but overall it’s positive experience

Make sure you get a good guide - Make sure you get a good guide, one who is enthusiastic and passionate, because this one was anything but.
