An Exclusive Early Access to Serenity: Begin your journey ahead of the crowd to Humantay Lake's pristine beauty. It’s not just about getting there; it’s about having that pristine space mostly to yourself.
Elevate Your Experience: After a manageable 1.5-2h hike, stand at 4200m (13,800 ft.) beside a crystal-clear lake, taking in views that many travelers don't get to see. And because we know altitude can be a challenge, we ensure the hike is paced for enjoyment and safety.
Picture-Perfect Perspectives: Go beyond the typical view. We guide you to elevated vantage points around the lake that most tours miss—ensuring you capture memories and photos that will be the envy of all.
Journey in Comfort: The drive is long, but it doesn't have to be uncomfortable. Relax in our specially modified seats, a pleasant change from the standard hard ones you'll find elsewhere.
Travel with the Best: With rave reviews backing us, join a small group of up to 8 enthusiastic travelers!

The tour was amazing! The views are breathtakingly beautiful! Vidal is a wonderful guide - very friendly, informative and kind. He was also very organized and punctual. The 3am start with a smaller group is definitely worth it as we were the first ones at the lake long before the other (larger) tour groups started trickling up the mountain. Would definitely recommend this tour.

The view and being with few other visitors is definitely worth the efforts of going up. The lunch at the local restaurant was very taste and with an amazing view over the valley
