⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A divinely spectacular gem and the best team!
Taking the excursion to Humantay Lake in Cusco has been one of the best decisions of my trip. The place is simply divine and spectacular; the turquoise waters and the imposing glacier leave you breathless from the very first moment. What made this day truly unforgettable was the Sexy Tortugas team. Our guide was super friendly, extremely attentive, and very clear with each of his explanations and interesting tips for handling the hike and the altitude well. Furthermore, it is clear that he knows the terrain perfectly: he shows you the best strategic spots to take incredible photos and capture the magic of the landscape. Something that I loved and that deserves full recognition is their focus on the conservation of the place. The guide constantly made us aware of the importance of leaving no trace and protecting the ecosystem. I make a call to all travelers: take great care of what we have in this destination, as it is a natural wonder that deserves to remain intact! Recommended 1000%. Thanks for such spectacular treatment!

Humantay lagoon tour
We did the Humantay Lagoon tour, and our guide was the sexy turtle lol. Super cool guide, concerned, explains very well and doesn't rush us to go up faster.

Laguna waits
We loved the trip to Laguna Humantay! 🏔️ The scenery is simply beautiful and worth all the effort to get there. Our guide Alex was very kind and attentive, making the experience even more special. We were lucky to be part of the best group, Vicuña! ❤️ Our excursion was almost all Brazilian, which made everything even more fun. A wonderful and unforgettable experience! We highly recommend! 🇵🇪✨
