Highly Recommend! - Talk about a challenging but super rewarding hike! Our guides Luz and Ruth were THE BEST and I highly recommend going with them! They were not only knowledgeable about the area but very encouraging and helpful throughout the duration of the hike! The views won’t disappoint either and are 100x more breathtaking than the photos!

Lake - This was a great experience that I recommend to fit people. It was very difficult but the view was worth it. The air was very thin and the mountain was steep but the lake was beautiful

Lake Humantay Day Hike - The hike itself was very challenging and steep. The views at the top were incredible and made the hike so worth it. Our guide, Juan Carlos, was so helpful, encouraging, and knowledgeable.

Hard but Beautiful - The hike was grueling, with a steep ascent and high altitude leaving us all taking many breaks and breathing hard. However, the view at the end was worth it, and our guide Juan Carlos was excellent at leading us through it all.

Challenging, but worth it! - This was an amazing, but challenging experience. The altitude is no joke, but our guide Ronald made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. Every detail was planned even though it was a very early start. I highly recommend this activity with Crossover Peru.
