(FAQs) Humantay Lake Private Transfer
This is private transportation only. It does not include a guide, meals, or entrance tickets. However, it gives you full flexibility and comfort compared to shared tours.
The hike is moderate to difficult, mainly due to the altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level. The hike can take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours (uphill only), depending on your physical condition or whether you rent a horse from the locals. At the starting point (Soraypampa), you must walk about 20 minutes to the horse rental point of the local residents if you need one. The price of the horse is 80 soles for the ascent only, as they do not rent horses for the descent to the parking lot. Our private service allows you to go at your own pace, and we always carry an oxygen tank in the vehicle as a safety backup.
