Solo Traveller

This was a beautiful and rewarding tour to one of the most stunning lakes in Peru. Lake Humantay – Laguna Humantay is a turquoise lake located at the foot of a glacier, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and green valleys. The hike was moderate but manageable, with some steep sections and high altitude. The guide was very helpful and informative, and he explained everything about the history and culture of the area. The tour was well organized, with a comfortable bus, a delicious breakfast and lunch, and oxygen in case of altitude sickness. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a natural wonder and enjoy a scenic hike
