With a mystical air, the lagoon is visited by shamans and tourists from all over the world to leave offerings to the Pachamama, a deity that represents Mother Earth in the Inca culture. By placing stones (apachetas), an offering is offered to the Pachamama thanking her for having reached the lagoon successfully, as well as asking her to accompany them on their journey.
According to the residents, the snowy Humantay is the youngest son of the Apu Salkantay, and they would be in charge of rationalizing

Our guide was very professional, friendly and enthusiastic. The pick-up was punctual and the driver gained also quickly my confidence (the drive near the top can get a bit tricky if it rains a lot). Five stars for the tour company.
For the tour itself: The early pick-up (4 am) is brutal and the drive is a bit long. The hike on the other hand is relatively short and hence not very physically demanding (do expect however a tough one hour of uphill). The lake as such is indeed beautiful, however one needs a bit of luck that it doesn't get too foggy (often the case), as the surrounding mountains with their snowed peaks account for half of the beauty of the landscape. Unavoidably, once at the lake you will bump into many other tourists from other groups and the stay itself is short.
Overall, a somewhat disproportionate time and effort to arrive to the lake vs the time to enjoy it, but personally I did not regret it. If you decide to do the tour, then I recommend this tour operator.

Totally rewarding tour. Alexander and his team were very accommodating and attentive. We weren’t sure if we were fit enough to hike up but Alexander made sure that we got the most of the trip. I can highly recommend them.
