Beautiful, mystic lake, wonderful walk - I loved the tour to Humantay lake. The lake is so beautiful and peaceful up there in the mountains, the sun and the freshness, the color of the water, the clouds.. It is the climb totally worth it and you can follow your own pace. The tour was very well organized, I was picked up on time and they communicate very well with you about what where and at what hour. The guide had knowledge about everything and was always concerned about the people. I took several tours with VIP Tours and I am very happy with their service. Thanks for the great days!
