One of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen! - Where to start? Well... start at the horse! Rsrsr what an amazing place!!! But being honest, it's painful to get there! We started the walk at 4 a.m. with the guide looking for us at the hotel. We traveled a few kilometers of well winding stays, (for those who have a weak stomach, take vonal or something of the kind) an average of 3 hours of van to the place. Arriving there, it is a tough muuuuito road to reach the lagoon. Precarious bathrooms, and poor structure to welcome tourists. We walked all the way (average 3 hours) walking with Cajado. It was tired beeem, altitude 4.200 above sea level! It was punk kkkk... I suggest catching a horse right at the beginning of the trail in case you don't want to make such an effort! But even with So perrengue indicate the walk! The lagoon is beautiful, one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen!

An EXCELLENT experience in CUSCO. It's worth it... but be careful of the altitude! - It's a challenge for anyone. We had a nice coffee halfway and lunch on the way. Vc needs an optimal physical preparation to overcome the climbing distance (4 km), which is quite difficult because it has a large altitude. The descent of 4 km is very difficult too. But it is very worth it because the LAGUNA is wonderfully beautiful. We stayed up there for about an hour and a half.

It really looked like something out of a story! - My sister and I decided to tour the Humantay Lagoon with Terra Quechua Peru, and it was the best decision we could make. The agency took care of all the details, from transportation to food, and our guide was very friendly, giving us interesting information throughout the walk. The climb was a bit challenging, but the views were breathtaking, and reaching the turquoise lagoon was the highlight of the trip After the walk, we enjoyed a typical lunch that was very well received after the effort. Some in the group decided to take part in the horseback riding tour, which added a special touch to the experience. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy a day full of nature and adventure with such a professional agency.

Walking to the lagoon - Risk living the experience of the walk!!! It seems impossible but slowly and slowly, it is achieved. The satisfaction is enormous!

Watch the horses. They're battered. - I want to report animal abuse. Horses are in very bad shape and treat them badly. I watched them throw rocks to move. They don't rest, they're up and down all day. They don't care if the person is more or less large, if the horse is tired or injured. The Humantay lagoon is amazing. But I made the big mistake of taking a horse. The climb costs and more because of the lack of oxygen so I recommend carrying a small bottle of oxygen and not taking a horse because I came upstairs with a very bad feeling to see how badly they treated the horses. Obviously I didn’t know this when I picked it up, but I noticed it during the journey and that’s why I only have to report it so it doesn’t happen to more people.
