Don't choose this company
I don't even know where to start. Here we go: in the morning, the agreement was for us to meet at the building entrance as agreed, but this did not happen (it was 4 am); it was agreed that there would be a maximum of 15 people in the group (there were 17); two people from another tour were boarded in the group and only realized this when they tried to pay for the ticket (the two were dropped off at a gas station to wait for a taxi that would take them to meet the other group - at 4 am). The sound inside the van was loud the whole trip. And now the worst part - when you get to the base of the mountain they disembark in the first parking lot (the farthest) forcing you to walk 1km more than the other groups. You are harassed all the time to make the climb using the horses (which cost $180.00 soles per person. But they take you on a longer trail, in the middle of a woods and next to the river with the horses (which get stuck, advance, and get agitated) because besides there being many horses, people are walking around and the trail is very steep and full of rocks, irregular, and poorly marked - this is because the GUIDE does not accompany us AT ANY MOMENT NEITHER ON THE UPHILL NOR ON THE DOWNHILL, there is no explanation of the place, no history, nothing. BUT there is another EXCLUSIVE trail for pedestrians, where the view is beautiful and safer and without the chance of accidents, where strangely all the other groups go and this option is not given at any time, you are constantly harassed to pay for the horses with clear bad intentions. It was the biggest scam I have ever seen

Tour with Hector
Great trip with Héctor and Holland today. I recommend this agency and guide to others who want to enjoy this beautiful destinations. Héctor made sure everyone on the group felt comfortable with the altitude gain and guided us all the way and up the mountain.
via Tripadvisor
We loved it a lot.
Visiting the Rainbow Mountain with the Peceros agency was a wise decision from start to finish. I highly highlight their organization, since coordinating an excursion at such a high altitude is not easy and they handle it to perfection. The punctuality of the pickup was impeccable, respecting the scheduled times without making us wait unnecessarily. Added to this, the attention from the guide and the team was very humane and dedicated, always ensuring that we were all well-adjusted and enjoying the scenery to the fullest.

Honestly, I had a great time.
With the Peceros agency there are no surprises or improvisations; they have a culture of organization that you can feel in every process. The management of every pickup is impeccable, agile, and executed with a precision that demonstrates their experience in the sector. On a human level, the service is outstanding, with a team that is not only friendly, but extremely resourceful and committed to excellence.

Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How does Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive compare to similar tours in Cusco?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 73. At $38 it is priced in line with similar options (typically $43). Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 12-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive good value?
+
It is fairly priced. It starts at $38, close to the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.
How much does Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive 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 Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 19 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 Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive?
+
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 Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive?
+
Around 7 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 Humantay Lagoon Tour from Cusco All Inclusive 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), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). 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.
