About this experience

We will begin early in the morning with the pickup at your hotel in Cusco. The vehicle will take us by Izcuchaca and Limatambo towns to enter to the Salkantay Route and get to the point where we will begin the trek. We will walk 1 km (0.6 miles) until arriving to the Soraypampa campsite, at 12,795 feet of altitude, where we will have breakfast. After that, we will begin the ascending trek for 1 and a half hours until reaching the Humantay Lagoon, located at 13,451 feet of altitude. Here we will be able to see the color variation, depending on the perspective that gives us the point where we will be located, besides the glacier as background that goes to the lagoon, if the weather allows it. After taking pictures and resting from walking at that altitude, we will go back to the campsite, where we will have lunch. Then, we will walk to our vehicle to return to downtown Cusco, where our tour ends.

Unforgettable Experience at Humantay Lake

I took the tour to Humantay Lake with Machupicchu Nice, and it was a wonderful experience. From the very beginning everything was well organized: the pick-up was punctual, the transportation was comfortable, and the guide was very kind and professional, always attentive to our needs, The hike up to the lake was challenging, but it was absolutely worth it. Once at the top, I was amazed by the beauty of the place—the turquoise color of the water and the snow-capped mountains surrounding the lake. Both breakfast and lunch were very good and complete, I 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco. Thanks to Machupicchu Nice for making this experience so special.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your lovely review! We are so glad that you had such a wonderful time at Humantay Lake. It’s one of the most breathtaking places in Cusco, and we’re happy our service made your experience even more enjoyable. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you again for another incredible adventure with Machupicchu Nice!

Humantay Lake, Full-Day Tour, Breakfast y Buffet Lunch.: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Humantay Lake, Full-Day Tour, Breakfast y Buffet Lunch. cost?

+

Prices start at $30 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 Lake, Full-Day Tour, Breakfast y Buffet Lunch. 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 Lake, Full-Day Tour, Breakfast y Buffet Lunch. worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Lake, Full-Day Tour, Breakfast y Buffet Lunch.?

+

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 Lake, Full-Day Tour, Breakfast y Buffet Lunch. suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. 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 Humantay Lake, Full-Day Tour, Breakfast y Buffet Lunch.?

+

Around 1 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 Lake, Full-Day Tour, Breakfast y Buffet Lunch. 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.
