Yes, you can book only the tourist bus transportation from Cusco to Humantay Lake. This is an ideal option for those who are already familiar with the route, do not want a full tour, or simply want to save money and hike on their own.
However, not all buses offer this option. Here’s how it works, why it’s important to book with formal operators, and what this service includes.
Transportation only, no tour: is it possible?
Absolutely. We offer a round-trip transportation option from Cusco to Soraypampa, the starting point of the hike to the lake.
This option includes:
Authorized tourist bus with air conditioning and reclining seats
Pickup from your hotel in Cusco’s historic center
Professional driver experienced in high-altitude routes
Optional breakfast stop (paid by the passenger)
Does not include: guide, breakfast, lunch, or assistance during the hike. However, these services can be added optionally at the time of booking.
Why book with us and not through third parties?
We stand out as formal local operators, not resellers or informal agencies. Booking direct transportation with us provides:
Legal and operational safety
Confirmed departures every day
Punctual service from the historic center
Personalized assistance before, during, and after the trip
Informal agencies may offer low prices but without real guarantees, insurance, or support if any issue arises on the route.
What is the bus trip to Soraypampa like?
The trip from Cusco to Soraypampa takes approximately 3 hours. The route includes curves and climbs, so it’s recommended to bring:
Motion sickness medication (if sensitive)
Warm clothing
Snacks and water
Cash for entrance fees or horse rental (optional)
From Soraypampa, you’ll hike on your own (approx. 2 hours up and 1.5 hours back), or you can rent a horse if desired.
