Amazing tour, well worth money - Myself and my partner booked this trip last minute and it was so worth the money. We started at 4:30am and back in Cusco by 4pm which suited us perfectly. Our tour guide Heber Forever 💯 was great. His English was excellent and gave us great information on the lake and took some great pictures!

Yesica is the best! - We had a wonderful hike up to Lake Humantay. Yesica and our driver were fantastic! We started very early at 3:30 AM, but it was worth it. We were the first to arrive at the lake, breakfast, and lunch. Yesica was extremely attentive and professional. She made sure we stopped to catch our breath when needed and guided us through the entire hike. As a bonus, she was an amazing photographer as well! Thank you Yesica, you captured memories for a lifetime! We highly recommend them for your tour of Lake Humantay.

Amazing trip! - This was an amazing trip and I would recommend it to anyone traveling to the area! The hike was challenging because of the altitude, but definitely worth it. The lake is bright blue with mountains surrounding it in every direction— one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve ever been on! Heber is a great guide and knows a lot about the area and keeps it fun. We appreciated that he translated all the Spanish to English just for our group. Heber-forever!

PRECIOSO - I had a great experience with Chullos Travel Peru. Our guide Heber from the start till the end was lively and attentive. The walk was not easy which is reasonable as it is steep and at a higher altitude but it can for sure be done and the drops of oil Heber offered us to open our airways was a nice, helpful gesture. The view of Humantay lake as well as the walk is just beautiful and we were given enough time to observe the landscape. Breakfast and lunch were delicious and the driver picked me up earlier from my host family’s place even though it was far from other hotels. It is definitely worth it. From team HEBER FOREVER!

Humantay Lake day trip from Cusco - Really enjoyed the tour to Humantay Lake. The guides were kind and attentive. We had Marciel he was very cautious to care for everyone in the group and offered information in Spanish and English. The hike was moderately difficult but I opted to take a horse up the mountain. The lake was really stunning and we learned about the local area. Wild horses and alpacas along the way. A beautiful day and well organised, with great food too. Recommend this tour company. Thanks so much

The best way to finish our visit in Cusco - This was the last stop in Cusco and have to say it delivered. We had a superb service by the company and staff, specially Wally, who guided us through the mountain tour. He went above and beyond by sharing his teachings and at the top we all did a traditional ceremony were we added our good wishes and intentions. Definitely recommend going with this operator.

Solo hike to Humantay lake - The hike and the lake was beautiful. The guide also described about place and traditions a few times. It is a tough trip but it’s worth the struggle. The driving could have been gentler.
