Excellent experience with Tayra Tours
The agency was excellent from the start to the end of the trip. Available to ask questions and super attentive and concerned about the well being, mainly because they were tours that needed acclimatation. I did 7 days with amazing tours. Everything went exactly as planned and, no doubt, returning to Cuzco I will be again with Tayra Tours.
Response from the operator: Querido amigo! Muito obrigado por reservar um tempo para compartilhar sua experiência durante suas férias no Peru. 🇵🇪❤️ Toda a nossa equipe da Tayra Tours está muito feliz em saber que tudo correu bem. Para nós, foi um verdadeiro prazer poder atendê-lo e oferecer nosso serviço. Ficamos muito felizes em saber que você aproveitou sua viagem e que nosso trabalho esteve à altura das suas expectativas. Desejamos uma excelente viagem e esperamos ter o prazer de recebê-lo novamente muito em breve em Cusco, Peru. Um forte abraço à distância! 🤗 Com muito carinho, Toda a equipe da Tayra Tours Cusco

Spectacular trail with spectacular Lagoon
Spectacular trail accompanied at all times by the guide Hector. The hard walk was worth it when you came to the end and could contemplate the beautiful lagoon of Humantay. Thank you TAYRA for keeping such a close eye on us.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Humantay Lake in Group - Full Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How does Humantay Lake in Group - Full Day compare to similar tours in Cusco?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 72. At $45 it is priced in line with similar options (typically $43). Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Humantay Lake in Group - Full Day 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 Lake in Group - Full Day good value?
+
It is fairly priced. It starts at $45, close to the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.
How much does Humantay Lake in Group - Full Day cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 in Group - Full Day 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 in Group - Full Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 in Group - Full Day?
+
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 in Group - Full Day 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 Lake in Group - Full Day?
+
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 Humantay Lake in Group - Full Day 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.

Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Entrance to Humantay lagoon 20 soles.
