The lagoon deserves...
The lagoon is very worth it, it is incredible the landscape but the rest, leaves much to be desired (breakfast, food, guide..)
via Viator (translated)
A spectacular place
An incredible experience, you have to be prepared, the walk is steep and you have to go carefully for the height. The guide very friendly and attentive.

Good choice
Breakfast and food were good enough to be a tour. The guide who attended us was lively, nice and gave us some information about the formation of the lagoon. Good organization.

Excellent agency, 100% recommended!
Excellent agency, 100% recommended! I toured the Humantay Lagoon with Salkantay Trail Peru and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was super well organized, from transportation, guides to feeding. You rating that they work with professionalism and a lot of experience in the area. All the tours they offer are A1, with very prepared guides, well managed groups and personalized attention. In Cusco there are many casual agencies that offer low prices but then fail to deliver as promised, so don’t be fooled. I arrived at the agency on the recommendation of friends and now I also totally recommend traveling with Salkantay Trail Peru. It is worth investing in a safe and quality experience Thank you Salkantay Trail Peru for making this trip unforgettable. I'll be back soon!

Highly recommended the trek, everything super organized.
Very satisfied with the personalized and friendly attention from the Terra Quechua Peru team. Kevin our guide, very reliable, very patient, very attentive to any need. He clarifies any doubt you have, they know very well the culture and the routes, the cook Alberto excelled with the menu every day. The tour is physically demanding, you must be in good condition and be familiar with the altitude due to the oxygen density. It's certainly worth all the physical effort to get to know all the landscapes and learn about the Inca culture. Without a doubt I highly recommend 🙌🏻♥️🇵🇪, I would take a tour with them again.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Laguna Humantay Full Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Laguna Humantay Full Day cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Laguna Humantay 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 Laguna Humantay Full Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 10 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 Laguna Humantay 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 Laguna Humantay Full Day suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 14. 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 Laguna Humantay 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 Laguna Humantay 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, 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.
