According to the agreed time, at approximately 4:00 am, we will pick you up at your hotel to start the journey, towards the northwest of the city of Cusco. On this tour we will pass through different villages, houses to the village of Limatambo. From this point we will go up to the village of Mollepata, where we will have breakfast. On the way, we will stop at the Markahuasi lookout where we will observe the archaeological remains of the same name. At this point our guide will give us detailed information about the place and as soon as we finish our coffee, we will continue our trip by car to Soraypampa. During the tour our guide will talk about the flora and fauna and customs of the place. Arriving at Soraypampa, the starting point of our hike, our guide will explain the correct way to walk at high altitudes, the time spent and the distance. It will also deliver a small snack and sticks for better progress on the walk. This trekking lasts about 2 hours, arriving at the beautiful Lagoon of Humantay where we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and the imposing view of the snowy Humantay and Salkantay. After a short rest and taking pictures, we will return by the same route to Soraypampa where we will take our transport to return to Mollepata, where we will enjoy a delicious buffet lunch to return to the city of Cusco.

Beautiful lagoon, arrive before everyone else.
It is worth waking up early to reach the lagoon before anyone else. I recommend taking the help of horseback riding.
Response from the operator: Madrugar para llegar a la Laguna Humantay con mayor tranquilidad permite disfrutar mejor de su belleza natural. También valoramos su recomendación sobre el caballo, ya que puede ser una buena alternativa para quienes prefieren vivir el recorrido con más comodidad.

PT-BR Lagoa Humantay
Amazing experience, breakfast and lunch included, simple but good. If you do not have physical preparation I recommend going on a horse to enjoy the lagoon more. The guides hurry the group a lot when they are walking up. The place is amazing the view is spectacular.
Response from the operator: Que bom saber que a beleza da Lagoa Humantay tornou a experiência incrível para você. A caminhada pode ser exigente, e cada viajante tem seu próprio ritmo; por isso, agradecemos sua observação sobre o acompanhamento durante a subida e vamos compartilhá-la com nossa equipe.

A challenging and magical trail to the Laguna Humantay
The trip to Laguna Humantay was one of the most challenging of the trip, but also one of the most rewarding! On the day of our trail it rained a lot and the road was quite steep, which made everything more difficult. Even so, with the support of our guide, we managed to get to the top and the feeling of conquest was sensational! When we arrived, it was still raining and the view of the lagoon was not so clear, but the guide did an ancestral ceremony asking for the rain to stop... and it worked! It was a magical moment rsrs I highly recommend the tour!
Response from the operator: ✨ Humantay exige mesmo esforço, e com chuva tudo fica mais intenso — por isso ficamos ainda mais felizes em saber que vocês conseguiram concluir a trilha com apoio do guia e sentiram aquela conquista sensacional. E que divertido esse momento da cerimônia ancestral que “funcionou” rsrs! Obrigada por recomendar e por viajar com a Peru Grand Travel! 💛😊

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Laguna Humantay Full Day Trail: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Laguna Humantay Full Day Trail cost?
+
Prices start at $122 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 Trail take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Trail worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 53 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 Trail?
+
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 Trail suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 14-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Laguna Humantay Full Day Trail?
+
Around 19 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Laguna Humantay Full Day Trail 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.
