Great excursion with good food in the morning and at lunch. Our guide, Heber Forever, guided us well and took some nice pictures of us.
Francesco was the besto. My only side note was that pickup was done in different location from what was originally set.
Incredible experience, very worth doing, Humantay is stunning. If you find it heavy to climb, you can go on a horse and just walk down like I did. The Franchesco guide was great with his group, from beginning to end.
Everything was amazing! The mountains and the lake are wonderful! Francesco the guide was a star!
Fantastic excursion, a somewhat demanding hike uphill but a great experience anyway... And the final views of the mountain and the lake, exceptional. Franchesco, the guide, impeccable.
Amazing view, great guide! The driver and guide were awesome. Highly recommend. But would note the drive close to the lake is very bumpy, I recommend to take Dramamine. Heber Forever!
Excellent coordination, they provided complete information and everything stipulated was fulfilled. Ever is an excellent guide, with charisma and good information.
Very nice excursion - well organised and Eber is a kind and good guide. The food you get is great! A bit more free time at the lake would be nice.
I did the Humantay Lake tour with the guide Franchesco and it was an incredible experience. From the beginning he was very professional, explaining every detail of the route and sharing valuable information about the place, its history, and its cultural importance. What I highlight the most was his patience and human warmth. In some parts of the hike I had trouble moving forward due to fatigue and the altitude, and Franchesco was always attentive; he waited for me without rushing, encouraged me to continue, and even offered me alternative routes to make the ascent more bearable without missing the beauty of the landscape. I never felt pressure or haste, only genuine companionship.
Awesome tour guide you can tell he really cares and is very patient, knowledgeable, and helpful.
