Phenomenal Trip
Jan 2022
Wonderful experincee on the full day tour. The lake is quite up the hill so the hike was chalenging. Moreover, i did the trek on the third day of my trip so was not much acclimatised.

Both breakfast and lunch were included and were delicious. From the top it is a spectacular view of the turquoise lake.

Antonio is a knowledgable guide. I totally reccomend this.

A very nice and positive trip to Laguna Humantay. It was very well arranged and everything was just as it was mentioned in the itinerary with no unpleasant surprises. They are true professionals and there was absolutely ZERO stress. Totally worth it!
