Itinerary
- 1Our transport will pick you up from your accommodation between 4:20 to 4:40 hrs. Temperature during the first hours of our Humantay lake tour is cold ( 5 to 9°C ) that why you need to bring one extra warm sweater, jacket, hat and gloves. These will keep you comfortable during this driving time to Mollepata. After 2 hours driving we will arrive at Mollepata where we will stop for breakfast and get last things you forgot to buy in Cusco like water and snacks. After breakfast there is an hours drive to Soraypampa. Once we arrive at this high mountain plateau we will be able to see the beautiful mountains Apu Salkantay (6230 meters above sea level) and Humantay (5250 meters above sea level). After a short time to prepare and gather our day packs, we start the 1 hour trek to Humantay Lake (about 3 km.) The way up to Humantay Lake is steep however our group is small and our guide will let you take your time to enjoy and arrive without pressure. After enjoying our first view of Humantay Lake there is a optional small climb above the lake to the right or left where you can enjoy a panoramic view. Next we have the easy part of our trek. We go downhill to Soraypampa for another hour. Then we will take our private transportation back to Mollepata where a local lunch will be waiting for us. Once we finish lunch we will go back to Cusco. We will arrive in Cusco between 17:00 to 18:00 hrs
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- W5495HJkyleb0 contributionsGreat Value and Experience! Would definitely recommend if you're looking to learn more about Incan Culture in Cusco.My wife and I did this tour the day after Machu Picchu, and it did not disappoint. We were very happy to learn facts about the Incas' that we did not know before, which made all of the Incan ruins that much more special and impressive. Jose Tito and his driver Richard were very professional, and Jose knew his stuff! We met another family whose son was studying abroad here, so it is very interesting to hear them exchange knowledge. I would definitely recommend before or after Machu Picchu, or even as a standalone if you don't want to make the trek out. We left Cusco the day after this tour, so thank you for ending our trip on a high note... Literally because we went up 1300 feet!Written December 13, 2024
- kevinzL784KL0 contributionsThoughtful and knowledgeable tour guideJose was amazing, great tour guide, very kind and knowledgeable, took his time explaining everything and answered questions, I wish we could have had him for other tours when we visited other local areas earlier in our trip. Highly recommendWritten December 6, 2024
- yingyuchi0 contributionsGreat Cusco tourAs a recommendation from a friend before my hike to Machu Picchu, I did a Cusco city tour with this group, and our guide, Jose, was wonderful. He was a great storyteller, and the group size was small, which made for a more personal experience. Thank you for the enjoyable tour and the introduction to Inca history.Written December 5, 2024
- Z3774OAheidiw0 contributionsGreat half tour of ruinsThis was a great trip. Our guide and driver were excellent. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history and went at the perfect pace for us. Enjoyed visiting all of the sites as well as the llama/alpaca/vicuña farm. Visiting part of the Inca trail was also a highlight and the views were amazing.Written November 23, 2024
- chwingman0 contributionsDefinitely go for the half day tour, but for sure pick a different Tour companyThe ruins were very interesting and I would have like more historical discussion. I don’t recommend this tour company as the guide had us standing around for long periods of time and then give us only a short period of time to explore the ruins. We suggested to him that we could walk and talk, but he refused to do that and the other guides would actually walk up to the top and around the ruins and then discuss with the groups of people. He also scolded us for being a little bit late. They also were a bit disorganized and when it came time to drop us back off at our hotels, he said mine was out of the way and refused to take me there again. I would recommend this room tour just not with this company.Written November 12, 2024
- Michelle W0 contributionsWorth the money for easy access and knowledgeable guide.Great for! Knowledgeable guide and great stops to view the ruins. Guide gave us the perfect amount of info at each stop and was open to questions we had. Go on the morning tour as it want nearly as busy as the afternoon lines we saw later to get into each site. Do know that you Jane to buy your own entrance tickets and that was 70 sols. Highly recommend the tour.Written November 8, 2024
- yiyapilla0 contributionsAmazing, Historical and Fun Tour!We booked the City and Archeological site tour. You have to request Jose! We were so pleased with the knowledge and service provided by Jose and this company. Somehow we got lucky and had a private tour. We visited four different sites and on each Jose was so well versed in its history. He has an in-depth knowledge and respect for the Incan culture and allowed us to take in and learn more than we expected. Definitely recommend! Best tour we have had yet! He was so patient with us and gave us great tips for acclimating and our future hike to Salkantay. Don’t forget to Ask for Jose!! 10/10!!Written November 7, 2024
- Sarah M0 contributionsGreat half day tour from CuscoAwesome ruins tour. The group was small and our guide Jesse was so informative and timed the half day perfectly. Thanks Andes Peru!Written October 27, 2024
- 1221deb0 contributionsExcellent tour of Cusco ruins!This was a perfect tour for learning more about the history of Cusco and the Inca people. Jose was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting things with us. He was also very patient and let us go at a comfortable pace as we were feeling the effects of the elevation. It was also really fun to learn about the alpacas and llamas and process of making the wool and feeling the variation in different fibers. Richard our driver was also great, especially considering the small roads he had to navigate. I’m so happy to have done the tour and give it 10/10!Written October 24, 2024
- J Richard A0 contributionsCusco City TourWell informed guide. Provided detailed explanation & information concerning sites visited. Would recommend others to consider this type of tour when visiting Cusco.Written October 23, 2024
- monicasZ629AS0 contributionsDefinitely recommend!Jose and Richard were knowledgeable, courteous and paced the stops perfectly. We learned a lot in a short period of time. Definitely recommend! We enjoyed feeding and interacting with the alpacas!Written October 16, 2024
- janelA9600BR0 contributionsA phenomenal historical adventureThis tour was fabulous - so much more than I expected. I learned a lot of history, and Jose readily answered all questions. I now have a deeper respect for and interest in the ancient culture of Peru. In addition, Jose and “professional driver” Richard were kind and helpful to all members of our group. I have recommended this tour to others at our hotel. WonderfulWritten October 11, 2024
- Kateleen S0 contributionsCultureCusco has such weird weather because it’s so high up in the skies. One moment it’s hot as balls and the next it feels like we’re in the Andes mountains. So I’d definitely pack accordingly. We did this tour on the same day we landed which was kind of crazy because we hadn’t adjusted to the altitude but honestly we weren’t THAT affected. just a little difficulty breathing and slight nausea. The tour guide we had was named Jose and he was soooo amazing and knowledgeable and you can just tell how much he loves his culture through the way he speaks. It’s beautiful to watch! Thank you Jose!!Written October 11, 2024
- H3360PFmariar0 contributionsBest tour guides, bar noneGreat tour to enjoy one of the many treasures of peru. Our tour guide was very informative and patient with the questions I would have. We had Richard and Jesse as our guides for the evening, and I don't think we could have had a more catered experience.Written October 5, 2024
- tomsT1707JB0 contributionsCusco ruins tourI did this tour solo expecting to be in a group so was suprised when I was the only one on the tour. But glad I went through with it, jose Ttito my tour guide has a wealth of knowledge about the historical sites and answered all my questions with excellent english (i dont speak spanish) great tour to go on if you have an interest in finding out about inca culture around cusco. All very close to cusco with minimal travel I would recommend this tour. Shop at the end of tour where you can pick up quality alpaca wool clothing.Written October 3, 2024
