      Itinerary
      • 1
        Our transport will pick you up from your accommodation between 4:20 to 4:40 hrs. Temperature during the first hours of our Humantay lake tour is cold ( 5 to 9°C ) that why you need to bring one extra warm sweater, jacket, hat and gloves. These will keep you comfortable during this driving time to Mollepata. After 2 hours driving we will arrive at Mollepata where we will stop for breakfast and get last things you forgot to buy in Cusco like water and snacks. After breakfast there is an hours drive to Soraypampa. Once we arrive at this high mountain plateau we will be able to see the beautiful mountains Apu Salkantay (6230 meters above sea level) and Humantay (5250 meters above sea level). After a short time to prepare and gather our day packs, we start the 1 hour trek to Humantay Lake (about 3 km.) The way up to Humantay Lake is steep however our group is small and our guide will let you take your time to enjoy and arrive without pressure. After enjoying our first view of Humantay Lake there is a optional small climb above the lake to the right or left where you can enjoy a panoramic view. Next we have the easy part of our trek. We go downhill to Soraypampa for another hour. Then we will take our private transportation back to Mollepata where a local lunch will be waiting for us. Once we finish lunch we will go back to Cusco. We will arrive in Cusco between 17:00 to 18:00 hrs

        A phenomenal historical adventure
        This tour was fabulous - so much more than I expected. I learned a lot of history, and Jose readily answered all questions. I now have a deeper respect for and interest in the ancient culture of Peru. In addition, Jose and “professional driver” Richard were kind and helpful to all members of our group. I have recommended this tour to others at our hotel. Wonderful

        Culture
        Cusco has such weird weather because it’s so high up in the skies. One moment it’s hot as balls and the next it feels like we’re in the Andes mountains. So I’d definitely pack accordingly. We did this tour on the same day we landed which was kind of crazy because we hadn’t adjusted to the altitude but honestly we weren’t THAT affected. just a little difficulty breathing and slight nausea. The tour guide we had was named Jose and he was soooo amazing and knowledgeable and you can just tell how much he loves his culture through the way he speaks. It’s beautiful to watch! Thank you Jose!!

        Best tour guides, bar none
        Great tour to enjoy one of the many treasures of peru. Our tour guide was very informative and patient with the questions I would have. We had Richard and Jesse as our guides for the evening, and I don't think we could have had a more catered experience.

        Cusco ruins tour
        I did this tour solo expecting to be in a group so was suprised when I was the only one on the tour. But glad I went through with it, jose Ttito my tour guide has a wealth of knowledge about the historical sites and answered all my questions with excellent english (i dont speak spanish) great tour to go on if you have an interest in finding out about inca culture around cusco. All very close to cusco with minimal travel I would recommend this tour. Shop at the end of tour where you can pick up quality alpaca wool clothing.

        So worth it.
        We were fortunate to be 1 of 2 couples on this tour so we had great access to our English speaking guide. Prior to the tour the communication with the company was brilliant in relation to preparation and pickup. The quality of the tour was excellent. Would highly recommend this tour operator.

        Quick guided sight seeing trip in Cusco
        We had a nice tour of the important sites in Cusco in half a day. These sites cannot be reached without a vehicle. A guided tour is the only way because if you end up going there alone, you are not going to appreciate what you see. We had a great guide and a driver who showed us these interesting sites in just few hours. I would recommend the tour to any Cusco visitors.

        Great tour, great pace
        Jose was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and didn’t rush us through the sites. It was a very nice, steady pace. He was always open for questions and had all the answers! We got to see all 4 ruins plus the alpaca sanctuary at the end of the day. Was just the right of amount of time, not too long, not too rushed. I felt very taken care of and safe.

        Quite the Efficient Experience
        After a successful city tour and Machu Picchu tour (!) I really wanted to see more of the ruins and this tour was perfect! Great communication and (early) pickup right from my door. Very comfortable van and solid amounts of cold water bottles for you. Jose was SUPER knowledgeable, so make sure you have a hat as the shade in the beginning is extremely limited and be ready to learn. Manos de la Comunidad was amazing to see and the prices were comparable to La Vicuñita Factory, but this place made me feel better, so I grabbed my blanket from there. Jose even went above and beyond to convince the man at the desk to allow us to be the last tour of the church and it was great to hear all the explanations and see them in person. Would 100% recommend this tour. :)

        Cusco Half Day Tour
        The tour guide and driver did an excellent job. They picked me up on time, they provided me with an additional information on the tour and then made a quick stop for me to grab some fruit for my hotel room.

        Worth it!
        The tour was worth it, but especially Sacsayhuaman. The views were incredible and the temples give you an idea of the vast empire of the Incas

        Jose was a great guide!
        Jose was a great guide! He took the time to explain everything in detail at all of our stops. He answered all the questions I had and made the day very interesting. I highly suggest him as a guide! The tour was a good amount of time. I was back to my hotel by 4:00 p.m. which I really appreciate! The driver was great as well! I felt very safe. However, I don't remember his name. Thank you Jose for a great day!

        Jose Ttito amazing tour guide of the Andes Peru!
        Our tour guide Jose Ttito in the Andes of Peru was fantastic. They knew so much about the history, culture, and nature of the area, and made every part of the trip interesting. The guide was friendly, made sure we felt safe, and helped everyone enjoy the trek, no matter their fitness level. They truly made the experience special, and I highly recommend them for anyone exploring the Andes!

        The best tour
        "I had an incredible experience with our guide Jose Ttito in Cusco! He truly knows his job inside out, providing detailed insights into the rich history of the Peruvian Andes and the ancient ruins. His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he made the entire tour engaging and educational. From navigating the mountainous terrain to explaining the significance of the Incan sites, he ensured that every part of the journey was memorable. Highly recommend if you're looking for an expert to bring the history of Cusco and the Andes to life to use Jose Ttito!

        Jose Ttito - AMAZING tour guide!
        I recently took a tour of the ruins in Cusco, and it was an incredible experience! The guide Jose Ttito was truly outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history and culture of the region. He made each site come alive with fascinating stories and insights, and their enthusiasm was contagious. The ruins themselves were breathtaking, but having such an excellent guide Jose Ttito made the tour even more memorable. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Cusco!

      Amazing experience with breathtaking views. Jose and driver were very professional and we felt safe with them! Definitely would recommend this hike! It is a bit challenging but worth it! There are horses along the way that you can take for the hike up which made for a great experience. Dress in layers and bring your hiking sticks.

      No words to thank and appreciate the effort and work of Jose our guide. This trip would not have been so informative and fun without him. He was very friendly and has a good sense of humor. Andes Peru did really desrve excellent credits for making this a memorable trip.

      Jose Ttito the owner did wonders on this trip.I felt a bit sick while climbing and he was quick to grab a can of xygen and recover me. He always walked beside me to make sure that I was not feeling sick anymore. Such a fantastic guide and a great human being.
