An amazing experience 🙌🏻 - An incredible experience to see the wonderful Andes, its lakes landscapes and native fauna, thanks to Eduardo and Nikelson, we not only felt at home but also as a family together with my lady. Super recommended walking, don't forget to put on the blocker and breakfast and lunch perfect for physical exertion. It's worth getting up early.

A fantastic guided trek with a great host and driver and breathtaking scenery - This tour was FABULOUS! Kevin was a great guide, so friendly and informative and made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole day. The journey was long, but Nicholson drove the windy mountain roads with ease and the scenery is honestly breathtaking. We got a flat tyre (these things happen) but the guys were so professional and had it fixed in minutes so we lost basically no time on the road. My friend and I had some issues with altitude sickness (in hindsight, we should probably have arrived in Cusco a day or two earlier, but that’s our own fault!) but Kevin kept us calm and made sure the pace wasn’t too difficult. It’s a tough climb - we opted to rent horses for the final bit of the climb which was really easy to organise and reasonably priced - but don’t let that put you off. The lake is amazing and definitely worth a visit, and this tour I couldn’t recommend enough.

Excellent 💫✨ - It is an excursion with incredible views and with a stunning landscape of the lagoon. I emphasize the professionalism of the guide Eduardo and the driver. Our guide was attentive to all the needs, doubts and concerns of each of the members of the group. He also encouraged us to be able to make the walk happen, he encouraged us with his words! Important >> is a DEMANDING hike and if necessary have adequate fitness. Likewise, if you go at your pace you get well but if you delay a long time you will not be able to appreciate much the gap Theme Food (breakfast and lunch) well 👍

Excellent ✨💫 - It is an amazing excursion, both our guide Eduardo and the driver were very professional. Our guide was attentive to the needs of all the members of the group, helped us to recharge strength for the walk. Likewise, I must say that the hike is demanding and you need a good physical condition, no joke, I think I am in good condition myself until I have had to face this excursion, it is not impossible if you go at your pace but if you brake much later you have less time to appreciate the beauty of the lagoon. Theme food, both breakfast and lunch, are fine 👍

A unique experience, the guide Puma made a very pleasant group atmosphere and allowed us to enjoy the whole tour - It was an incredible visit, as the guide Puma brought us up just in time because the weather worsened later and we would not have been able to enjoy that incredible place

Inolvidable - Eduardo and his partner were the best. They have nurtured us in culture and experiences. Despite the change in height has been a great help. Highly recommended.

Fantastic guide, driver and location! - Excellent trip, Yonatan was a fantastic guide as was our driver! We got delayed by a landslide by an hour or so but it didn’t mean the rest of the tour was rushed. We had plenty of time to still enjoy the lake and scenery.
