Planning a day trip from Cusco to Humantay Lake?

When I was researching this hike, I found it confusing to understand altitude, difficulty and how to get there from Cusco. Most guides were too general or not updated.

This guide helped me understand everything clearly, including how the day trip works, what to expect during the hike and how to prepare for the altitude.

If you are planning your trip to Cusco, I recommend checking this detailed guide:
