    3. Mollepata

      Mollepata is one of the many "Haciendas" in this valley that borders "Apurimac". In Limatambo there is another one, surrounded by vegetation and with four huge palm trees in each corner, that of Sondor, forming another unique image. The palm trees is a tradition that comes with Spanish landowners, who in turn picked it up from the Arabs, being an indication, in the vastness of the mountains, of an inhabited place, a kind of oasis along the way. The Sondor estate attracts attention from Tarawasi for the colors of its walls and the huge glass windows that form the main facade, causing light reflections among the lush vegetation.

    Claudia M · May 2026

    Spectacular

    We made trips with Machu Picchu. Wonderful and exhausting. But and impervious. The guides were excellent. We spent one night in the Domos to follow another trail the next day. It was great excellent homemade food, made with a lot of affection in the Domo and the pond and simply impervious

    Best day time ever. Book this tour and request Mary

    Mary is amazing. The best and caring tour guide ever. She is knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming and just an all around good person to have as a guide in a new country. She taught us a breathing method that invaluable. I am going to miss her

    Imponent and beautiful lagoon

    Local is 2 hours away from Van, arriving there has to walk 6 km and 6 km back. The climb is difficult due to distance , altitude and terrain , but you can count on horse help for 80 soils , but it 's worth every second . The place is beautiful

    Memorable place!

    Tremendous place!! The recommendation is to go and sleep in the Bioandean domes (they are the most complete) so that the experience is complete and you can see the lagoon without so many people, since at one time it is exploited by the tours that go only for the day. We went to @healthtrek.cordoba and hired there.

    Response from the operator: Gracias por tu reseña Carlos, Espero vuelvas mas seguido saludos Equipo Willka

    Full day tour to the Humantay lake - Group Service.: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full day tour to the Humantay lake - Group Service. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 the Humantay lake - Group Service. take?

    +

    Plan for about 13 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 the Humantay lake - Group Service. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 the Humantay lake - Group Service.?

    +

    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 the Humantay lake - Group Service. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full day tour to the Humantay lake - Group Service.?

    +

    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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full day tour to the Humantay lake - Group Service. 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, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), 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.

    What is included in Full day tour to the Humantay lake - Group Service.?

    Is Full day tour to the Humantay lake - Group Service. wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
