What you'll see and do
Humantay Lake
We will pick up you at the hotel, (8:00am) we will start our adventure to the Humantay Lake with 3.5-hour-drive pass through different towns in private transport to Soraypampa (3850 m.s.n.m.). Once we arrive to Soraypampa we will start our trek up to the Humantay Lake (4200 m.s.n.m.). with breathtaking views and if the sky is clear enough, we can see the impressive snow-capped Salkantay and Humantay. It is a 1.5-hour-walk to the lake with a low to moderate difficulty, and more than worth it when you see the mystic and magic view. It is also possible to rent a horse instead. We will have enough time to take pictures, bring an offer to the Apus. After some free time, we will start our descent to Soraypampa of about 1.5 hours, which is a lot easier than the way up. In Soraypampa lunch will await for us and after to rest we return to Cusco where we will arrive at 6 p.m.

Excellent service from the Libertrek agency for the tour to Humantay. Everything was very punctual and professional. Thank you very much to Christian Perez for helping me organize the itinerary and keep an eye on my questions before leaving. If you are looking for a reliable agency in Cusco, this is the one.

Humantay Lake Private tour 1 day, departure at 08:00 am: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Humantay Lake Private tour 1 day, departure at 08:00 am cost?
+
Prices start at $186 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 tour 1 day, departure at 08:00 am take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 tour 1 day, departure at 08:00 am worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Humantay Lake Private tour 1 day, departure at 08:00 am?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Humantay Lake Private tour 1 day, departure at 08:00 am suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Humantay Lake Private tour 1 day, departure at 08:00 am?
+
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Humantay Lake Private tour 1 day, departure at 08:00 am 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.
