It was an amazing experience to travel internationally alone. Wonderful places! And all support and support from the team. The guide is super animated and speaks well Portuguese. Great breakfast and lunch. I loved everything
A Lagoa Humantay é uma experiência inesquecível, e nossa equipe mantém o suporte necessário para que cada viajante aproveite o percurso com confiança. A guia, com seu entusiasmo e português claro, contribuiu para um dia ainda mais especial.
It is worth waking up early to reach the lagoon before anyone else. I recommend taking the help of horseback riding.
Madrugar para llegar a la Laguna Humantay con mayor tranquilidad permite disfrutar mejor de su belleza natural. También valoramos su recomendación sobre el caballo, ya que puede ser una buena alternativa para quienes prefieren vivir el recorrido con más comodidad.
Amazing experience, breakfast and lunch included, simple but good. If you do not have physical preparation I recommend going on a horse to enjoy the lagoon more. The guides hurry the group a lot when they are walking up. The place is amazing the view is spectacular.
Que bom saber que a beleza da Lagoa Humantay tornou a experiência incrível para você. A caminhada pode ser exigente, e cada viajante tem seu próprio ritmo; por isso, agradecemos sua observação sobre o acompanhamento durante a subida e vamos compartilhá-la com nossa equipe.
Despite the trail complicated by tilt and altitude, every moment is worth it! The view is impressive and the Sandro guide made all the difference with the explanation and support during the visit!
A trilha pode ser exigente por causa da altitude, mas é maravilhoso saber que valeu a pena e que vocês aproveitaram cada momento. Obrigada por destacar o guia Sandro — vamos compartilhar seus elogios com ele. Foi um prazer acompanhar vocês. Obrigada por escolher a Peru Grand Travel! 💛✨
The trip to Laguna Humantay was one of the most challenging of the trip, but also one of the most rewarding! On the day of our trail it rained a lot and the road was quite steep, which made everything more difficult. Even so, with the support of our guide, we managed to get to the top and the feeling of conquest was sensational! When we arrived, it was still raining and the view of the lagoon was not so clear, but the guide did an ancestral ceremony asking for the rain to stop... and it worked! It was a magical moment rsrs I highly recommend the tour!
✨ Humantay exige mesmo esforço, e com chuva tudo fica mais intenso — por isso ficamos ainda mais felizes em saber que vocês conseguiram concluir a trilha com apoio do guia e sentiram aquela conquista sensacional. E que divertido esse momento da cerimônia ancestral que “funcionou” rsrs! Obrigada por recomendar e por viajar com a Peru Grand Travel! 💛😊
From the beginning of our trip, the service exceeded my expectations. We closed the package with Ubaldina who explained everything right. Just before the trip, Cristian contacted me. Very efficient and polite Cover. We had a flight cancellation in Brazil and he resumed without any cost our first trip. The guides are excellent, especially the Wil with whom we took a private tour to Machu Picchu. The agency's hiring was very worth it.
Ficamos contentes que a experiência com a Peru Grand Travel valeu muito a pena. A Ubaldina e o Cristian agradecem muito pelo carinho — e ficamos felizes que, mesmo com o imprevisto do voo, tudo foi resolvido rapidamente. Obrigada por reconhecer o trabalho dos guias e por mencionar o passeio privativo com o Wil em Machu Picchu. 💛😊
And a long walk to get to the pond, but on the day of the visit the weather was half cloudy and allowed to see only a piece of the mountain, but the guide Joel provided complete support throughout the journey.
A caminhada até a Laguna Humantay é realmente intensa, e entendemos que o tempo nublado pode limitar um pouco a vista. Ainda assim, ficamos felizes que o guia Joel te deu total apoio durante todo o trajeto. Obrigada pela confiança! 😊✨
This tour is very extensive, with almost two hours of rising, under the sun and with an altitude of just over 4 thousand meters. It is quite exhausting, but the view of the lagoon at the end makes it worth the effort.
Muito obrigada pelo feedback! 💛🏔️ A lagoa Humantay é mesmo um desafio físico, mas também uma das paisagens mais lindas da região. Que bom saber que você sentiu que o esforço valeu a pena ao chegar na lagoa. ✨
Visiting Laguna Humantay with Peru Grand Travel was amazing, as in addition to being accompanied all the time with an extremely knowledgeable guide of the trail, he gave us all the support and attention necessary to complete the trail successfully and happily! I loved seeing Humantay lagoon with you!
A trilha da Humantay é desafiadora, e é ótimo saber que você teve todo o suporte e atenção necessários para concluir com sucesso — e com alegria! Obrigada por escolher a Peru Grand Travel para viver esse momento tão especial. 💛🏔️
The Humantay Lagoon is an intense and unforgettable experience. The trail is very demanding, with steep climbs and the altitude making each step more challenging. You have to go at your own pace, stop to breathe and enjoy the sight along the way. Getting to the top is rewarding: surrounded by imposing mountains, the place conveys a unique peace and energy, making every effort worth it.
Agradecemos de coração pela sua avaliação! 💛🏔️ A Humantay é um daqueles lugares que marcam para sempre: o caminho é exigente, mas cada parada, cada respiração e cada vista fazem parte da experiência. Que bom saber que, ao chegar lá em cima, você sentiu essa energia especial que torna tudo recompensador.
