Unmissable trekking

We hired several excursions with Inca Trilogy, and we were more than happy with them all! The excursion to Laguna Humantay was beautiful. The Guide, Julio, was excellent in his handling of the group, always attentive to the needs of everyone, his experience and professionalism were noticeable. The driver and transport, also excellent, making a fairly long trip, is done inside everything pleasant! As for the lagoon itself, needless to say, the scenery is beautiful, the way to the go can be a little demanding, as it is on the climb, but taking the time needed to rest, can be done and has no more difficulty than that.

Response from the operator: ¡Estamos muy agradecidos por tu comentario! ¡Nos alegra saber que todo fue perfecto!

Breath taking (literally) 5 stars

Amazing. Ask for Claudia and Jason as your guides. Claudia is a book of knowledge when it comes to the Inca civilization I learned so much about their values, beliefs, all while enjoying the amazing scenery. The hike is very challenging I am semi active, but not a true hiker and would rate it 10/10 bc of the altitude. They do have horses to transport up the mountain. Worth the struggle to make it to the top

Full Day Humantay Lake: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does Full Day Humantay Lake cost?

+

Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Full Day Humantay Lake take?

+

Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

Is Full Day Humantay Lake worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Humantay Lake?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Full Day Humantay Lake suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 14-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Full Day Humantay Lake?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Full Day Humantay Lake start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cusco?

+

On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cusco?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cusco?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
