Amazing! - Ronald was such an excellent guide and truly wanted us to savor not only the beautiful landscape but saturated it richly with stories about the history of the area!

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.

Humantay Lake - Tour was awesome. Pick up perfectly on time. Our tour guide Luz was above and beyond , she was perfect. She answered all questions we were asking and most important she helped us to get all the way to the top because at the beginning of the climb I was struggling. Thank you Luz and I hope we meet again on some other tour.

Amazing experience - The view was breathtaking, and our guides Ronald and Ruth made sure we were alright at every step of the way. I opted to take a mule up due to altitude sickness, but I'd love to do the hike with this operator again sometime! They were knowledgeable, friendly, and really fun!

Highly Recommended - Challenging But Rewarding - Highly recommend this challenging but rewarding hiking experience! From start to finish, you get all the support and information you need to reach the beautiful Humantay Lake, and take in all the stunning views along the way. Horses/mules were available to ride up (not back down) for anyone concerned with battling the altitude, etc. Everyone in our group found this journey to be absolutely worth it!

Difficult but Worth It - Humantay lake hike was a difficult but rewarding experience. Juan Carlos was our guide and was FANTASTIC. He supported us physically and mentally up the mountain and gave us tips on adjusting to the altitude as we went. He also provided a deep cultural lesson and taught us about the history and geography of the area throughout our tour. The views at the top of the mountain were worth the hike!!
