    <p>We had a great day in the mountains! <br/> The only problem about this tour was that they confused something with our pick-up time. Our pick up was appointed for 4 am, but instead we were picked up at 5 am. You know, we could have had 1 one of extra sleep instead.<br/> But nevertheless, the rest of the day was amazing!<br/> Our guide was super helpful and friendly.<br/> Note, that the hike up is quite difficult, so be prepared for a work out.<br/> But on your way up you will enjoy great views!<br/> And when we finally reached Humanity Lake Oh, it was magnificent!<br/> We had enough time to have rest next to Humanity Lake and to enjoy its view.<br/> The way down was much easier than the way up. <br/> Great tour! I recommend it to everyone who goes to Cusco!</p>

    The hike was really lovely. The...

    <p>The hike was really lovely. The drive up could be considered scary but was great to access something off the beaten path. I would recommend going to Humantay Lake, but I would not recommend using this company. We were picked up by a taxi at 5 am and then dropped off at a gas station. A few minutes later, the bus full of other tourists came along and picked this up. This did not seem normal, and I was questioning the safety of this, so if this is how the pickup normally happens, there needs to be better communication from the company in advance. </p> <p>We booked an English-speaking tour, but we were among only 5 in our nearly 20-person group who spoke English. The guide spoke only basic English, so while things were explained in detail to the group in Spanish, the English explanation was brief if it happened at all. For example, the 15-minute Spanish explanation of the local surroundings at the end of the hike was boiled down to a 6 minute English explanation I timed it after noticing the pattern. </p> <p>We ate breakfast and lunch at the same location, and the food was fine. </p> <p>The most important thing was that we made it to the mountain and did the hike, and that happened. Just don't expect much from the actual tour guide if you have the same one we did.</p>

    <p>Once there, it was amazing and worth it.Landslide on way added 3hr delay and almost canceled trip. Renting horses was the best choice as it was a steep climb and we had not yet adjusted to the altitude. It is a long drive on winding dirt roads.We got to-go bfast to save lost time. Dinner was good.</p>

    Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $34 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 Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 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 Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch?

    +

    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 Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch?

    +

    Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch 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.

    +

    Included: First aid kit; transport to/from Soraypampa; Lunch; Breakfast; and Professional tour guide speakin English/Spanish. Not included: Tips for the guide; and Entrance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Tour Hike to Humantay Lake with Buffet Lunch offered in?

    +
