What you'll see and do
Cusco
Your adventure begins bright and early, with pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Cusco between 4:00 am and 4:30 am. The 2.5-hour drive to Mollepata, a charming Andean village nestled in the mountains, offers a chance to catch some extra sleep or enjoy the stunning sunrise views. As we ascend through the Andes, you will see the scenery transform. Mornings in the region are chilly, so we recommend dressing in layers for comfort.

Mollepata
Once we arrive in Mollepata, we will stop at a cozy local restaurant for a light breakfast and a warm cup of tea or coffee. This will give you the energy you need before the hike. After breakfast, we will drive another hour to Soraypampa, the starting point of our hike. Here, your guide will provide essential tips and safety instructions for the trek. Everyone is encouraged to walk at their own pace to fully enjoy the breathtaking surroundings. The hike is moderate in difficulty, with uneven terrain, but it’s suitable for all ages. If you feel it may be too challenging, horseback rentals are available directly from the local community.

Amazing Humantay with last minute addition for my friend!
An amazing location to visit with beautiful scenery. The tour was well organised, hotel pick-up and the breakfast and lunch were delicious. The tour made a last minute addition for my friend to join my group which made my experience even more enjoyable.

Best customer service and tour timing!
Wow, had the best experience ever with Nixon and Ari!!! From the start they were incredibly helpful - they answered every question (and there were many from me), scheduled calls and meetings, were very responsive and very kind. They checked in to make sure I enjoyed my tours. They were flexible when plans changed. They were so kind and lovely and made the experience so excellent. I've travelled a fair bit but was so nervous as I'd never been to south America. They provided help way beyond their tours, just with general travel questions with South America. Wish they had an agency in every country I could use! Top notch customer service! The tour itself was also so well planned - timing and everything allowed for a long time to enjoy the lake. Honestly recommend the horses if not acclimatised/well rested as it is hard work! Was one of the most beautiful sites you could see!

Humantay Lake Full day Tour with Local Guide from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Humantay Lake Full day Tour with Local Guide from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 with Local Guide from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 with Local Guide from Cusco 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 3 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 with Local Guide from Cusco?
+
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 with Local Guide from Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Humantay Lake Full day Tour with Local Guide from Cusco?
+
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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Humantay Lake Full day Tour with Local Guide from Cusco 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.
