Great trip! - Ronald was a great leader for this hike, he made us feel very comfortable in the high altitude . He was able to find the non touristy picture spots since it was quite crowded at the top, he is also a great photographer!

Hiking Humantay Lake - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our hike to Humantay Lake in April, but found the hike to extra challenging because of mudslides in the area, as well as the effects of altitude sickness. Our guides, Roland and Ronald - were great! We would recommend this hike and trip to others - but be prepared for a challenge!

- The hike was definitely challenging because of the altitude. But our group had a great time! Judy was an awesome guide and the views were incredible. Our group hired private chefs for us and made breakfast before our hike and had lunch ready afterwards, that was an incredible bonus!

Humantay Lake Hike w/ Judith - The Humantay Lake hike was definitely challenging, but the views and atmosphere while hiking and at the top made it worth it.
Our guide, Judith, also did a great job at being engaging and supportive throughout the hike. Really friendly and fun to talk to. Had some fun conversations over photography!

An incredible day with an awesome guide! - If you're planning to hike to Lake Humantay, do yourself a favor and go with Judith and CrossoverPeru Tour. She made this already stunning experience absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, she was incredibly knowledgeable, not just about the hike itself, but also about the history, and culture of the surrounding area. Her passion for the work is obvious. And she takes amazing photos. Beyond her professionalism, she was warm, and encouraging. By the time we reached the breathtaking turquoise waters of Lake Humantay, it felt like we were all part of something special. Highly recommend this tour and especially this guide!
