What you'll see and do
Our adventure begins very early with our team picking you up from your hotel at 4:00 hrs and heading for 3 hours to a small village called Mollepata. Here we will enjoy a delicious breakfast. Then, we continue for one more hour to the local community of Soraypampa. After receiving a short briefing and getting ready, we will begin our hike up to the Humantay Lake, passing through stunning landscapes and also the Salkantay and Humantay peaks. It takes about 1,5 hours to reach the lake, with low to moderate difficulty, but it will be more than rewarding once we arrive at this natural beauty. Once at the lagoon, we will have enough time to take pictures and bring an offer to the Apus. After some free time and rest, we will begin our descent to Soraypampa for about another 1.5 hours, which is much easier than the way up. In Soraypampa and continue to Mollepata where we will have a well-deserved buffet lunch after some rest, we start making our way back to Cusco arriving at 5 p.m. approx.

Excellent experience!! 🤩
I loved the experience with them; I went with my family, and the treatment from the very first moment was excellent, transfers, breakfast, and our guide Wilson was 10/10.

Worth the hike!
Pretty hard trek if you’re not very fit. But definitely worth the few mini heart attacks to get to the lake. The drive up to the hike was pretty fun, with beautiful views; and our guide Jhon was lovely and attentive. If you’re not used to hiking you may want to consider taking a horse up, otherwise you might not get much time at the lake before having to ascend. You need a bit of time to take pictures as it’s a very popular place, and other tourists can be rude and have no self awareness.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Humantay Lake Group Tour in Cusco - All Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Full Day Humantay Lake Group Tour in Cusco - All Included cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Group Tour in Cusco - All Included take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Group Tour in Cusco - All Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Group Tour in Cusco - All Included?
+
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 Group Tour in Cusco - All Included suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Humantay Lake Group Tour in Cusco - All Included?
+
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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Humantay Lake Group Tour in Cusco - All Included 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.
