Inresponsible
I didnt go on this trip because I was ready waiting since 3:55am in front of my Airbnb because the driver text me the night before telling me my pick up time was 4am and he never show up around 6pm he called me to tell me he was on his way after 2 hours stading outside in the cold I decided not to go since this company is so irresponsible that I didnt feel safe going anywhere with them do paid for this trip they are not a responsible company.

Huacachina tour
I have been left very disappointed and upset with my experience with Erika. Ms. Erika sold me a package that clearly included one night in Huacachina, inside the oasis. This was one of the main points of the agreement. However, upon arrival, I was assigned a hotel located about 15 minutes by taxi from Huacachina, that is, completely outside the oasis. I tried to get in touch with her to clarify the problem and request assistance, but unfortunately I did not find the availability I expected. On the contrary, after a problem that did not depend on me, but on what had been organized and sold, I even received a message with a tone that I considered unkind and unprofessional. What disappointed me the most was precisely this: a lot of attention during the sale and marketing, but very little availability and assistance after the sale, especially when a problem arose related to what had been promised. I am very sorry, because with a little more attention to the customer's needs and more professional assistance, the experience could have been completely different. Unfortunately, in this case, I am left with a feeling of great disappointment and little consideration for the customer.

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.
via Viator (translated)
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.

Why this scores 62
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 does Laguna Humantay 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 62. At $35 it costs less than the typical similar option ($43), so it is strong value. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Laguna Humantay 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 Laguna Humantay Full Day good value?
+
Yes. It starts at $35, below the $43 typical for similar experiences in 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 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 12 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?
+
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 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, 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.
What is included in Laguna Humantay Full Day?
+
Included: First aid kit; Lunch; Breakfast; 1 local lunch; and Professional Guide. Not included: Entrance to the Salkantay Trail; Drinks; Canes; and Emergency horse. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Laguna Humantay Full Day include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 251 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Laguna Humantay Full Day offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Laguna Humantay Full Day?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Laguna Humantay Full Day wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Laguna Humantay Full Day if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
