What you'll see and do
Humantay Lake
Pick up from your hotel between 4:30 to 5:00 am, heading to Soraypampa (3850 meters above sea level). There we will have a delicious breakfast to start our day well before starting our walk. We will begin our walk to the Humantay lagoon (4200 meters above sea level) with beautiful views and if the sky is clear enough, we will be able to see the impressive Salkantay and Humantay snow-capped mountains. It's a low to moderate difficulty hike, and more than worth it when you see the magical view. We will have enough time to take photographs, and bring an offering to the Apus. After some free time, we will begin our descent to Soraypampa of approximately 1.5 hours, which is much easier than the way up. Lunch will await us in Soraypampa and after a rest we return to Cusco where we will arrive around 5 p.m.

One of the most beautiful postcards of my trip in Peru
We were with Nicolas at the Humantay Lagoon, the landscape is spectacular, the beautiful turquoise Lagoon and the majestic glacier in the background. Just wonderful memory.

AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY
The agency organized everything and was perfect, very punctual and helpful. He always kept us informed of every step. We went up and down the mountain on foot, because despite having the option of going up on horses, we preferred to do it on foot. We got really tired, but it was totally worth it, it was a fantastic and unforgettable day, with wonderful views.

Experience that I will repeat again
The guide was very attentive to us, the guide supported us with his assistance which made us successfully arrive at the lagoon. We took photos and saw incredible landscapes all the way. It is an experience that I will repeat again.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Tour to Humantay Lagoon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Full Day Tour to Humantay Lagoon cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Tour to Humantay Lagoon 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 Tour to Humantay Lagoon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Tour to Humantay Lagoon?
+
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 Tour to Humantay Lagoon suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 17. 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 Tour to Humantay Lagoon?
+
Around 4 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 Tour to Humantay Lagoon 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.
