Do not miss this tour!!!
Booked the Lake Humantay all day tour with Willka Travel and it did not disappoint! Breakfast and lunch were included and were delicious! Our tour guide Hilton was fantastic - very informative about the area and answered all our questions (also very funny!) The tour was well organized, beginning with being picked up at our hotel. The hike is very steep but well worth it as the views are breathtaking! Definitely a memorable experience that was the icing on the cake for our trip. If you’re going to visit Lake Humantay, definitely book with this agency - they are top notch!!
Response from the operator: It is great to know you could fully enjoy this tour with us. Thank you so much for taking your time to write this kind review. We are looking forward to our next adventure time together! Take care!

A memory that will never be forgotten
I booked Lake Humantay all day tour with Willca Travel. Since I had my cell phone service turned off due to being in a different country, I communicated with them through email and they were extremely responsive in the entire planning process, pick up and the whole journey. Hilton our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny and also spoke both English and Spanish to the entire group not leaving anyone out. Breakfast and Lunch for my standards was more than fine and the beautiful setting was icing on the cake.
Response from the operator: It is so good to read that you had a great time. :) Thank you so much for your feed back. We are looking forward to our next adventure time together!

Great advice
My wife and I took a tour in September with the driver Julio César and the Hilton Guide. The driver drove the van safely throughout the course, always keeping the speed safe. Our guide was perfect, explaining both in English and Spanish and quite calmly the whole tour. He also escorted the group very carefully and calmly both in the mountain climb and descent. We also loved the coffee and lunch. Congratulations to you!
Response from the operator: Que ótimo, Fael! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que você pode aproveitar tudo muito bem e ainda gostou muito do nossos serviços e dos nossos parceiros de trabalho! A sua opinião é muito importante pra gente! Se cuida e até a próxima!

Humantay Lake Private Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Humantay Lake Private Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Private Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Private Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 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 Private Full Day Tour?
+
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 Private Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 24-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Humantay Lake Private Full Day Tour?
+
Around 3 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Humantay Lake Private Full Day Tour 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.
