Breathtaking landscape (literally) - The tour to the lagoon is excellent, our guide Jeferson was very helpful and attentive, always giving us the best tips, including for photos. The climb, as it is quite steep, requires a certain amount of physical preparation.

AMAZING - I would definitely recommend this tour! The guide was so amazing and taught us so much about Incan culture which was absolutely amazing! This hike is a bit challenging and I would recommend not doing it your first few days in peru to get adjusted to the elevation. Again this tour was amazing 10/10

Great time, phenomenal views - Had a phenomenal time on my Humanity Lake hike! Pick up (although early) was so easy, with pickup right near my hostel. It's a long, windy, but beautiful path. We stopped for breakfast on the way. Food and views were great! Continued on to start hiking around 11:30am. Our guide was so fun and took the time to describe some of the history of the area, which enhanced my experience immensely! The hike itself is tough, but mostly because of the altitude. It's beautiful with awesome views the entire way. The lake itself is pretty mesmerizing. We stopped for a late lunch on the way back to Cusco at the same place, which was delicious! Drop off back in Cusco was super easy! Overall, had an awesome time!

Great view and experience - In total it was great! But - The agency has told the guide another pick up location than us. The agency was also not reachable. We were 7 people - one older woman was riding the horse. I don’t know if it is common but the guide was with here instead with us - the people who were climbing up the mountain. Don’t underestimate the altitude and slope

Beautiful Place! - This hike is not for the faint of heart! but so worth it. If you think you can't make it, pay for the horses... but don't QUIT! You will be tired the next day but so so happy you did it! :) Beautiful place!

Pickup did not show up. - The pickup did not show up -> No Trek.
I booked with tripadvisor on a short notice, but they had a working day time and failed to give any feedback.
If you choose to go with Mapi Travel always call to get confirmation.
