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.

Humantay lagoon - Beautiful place located in cusco, Peru. Best of all, you have guided tour options at very good prices and the welcome of the locals is very warm.

A FASCINATING ADVENTURE !!! - We had a great day, without rain !! We did the short trail, it was a tough climb but it was worth the effort, the Laguna is very beautiful and the view you have from the highest point is spectacular, it is very cold and the height of the place if you feel when you walk The best thing is to drink a coca tea to avoid altitude sickness. If you don't want to walk, you can rent a horse, although you have to do the last section on foot anyway. The tour with South America Exploor is highly recommended !!

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.
