Our favorite trip from Cusco - The 7 lagoons were amazing. Stunning views the whole time and a very enjoyable hike. The walk covers a good distance but was never too strenuous. Alex the guide made sure to provide all the information we needed and allowed the group to go at whatever pace was comfortable. We had plenty of time at each lagoon to enjoy the time and was much less rushed compared to other tours. This hike feels far less touristy than others and is less busy. There were maybe only 2-3 other small groups that were around. A very enjoyable day overall and highly reccomended.

Awesome hiking day in beautiful nature - We had a great hiking Trip hosted by the awesome Guide Alex and Driver Willy. Started with a smooth and in time Pick-up and lots of interesting explanation during the day. The landscape in this not yet overcrowded area is just breathtaking and also breakfast and Lunch were good. For sure a 4 hours hike in this altitude needs a good physical condition but for those who are not sure about that locals offers the possibility to rent a horse either one or both ways.

Amazing trip without too many tourists - It was a really nice trip with perfect weather and incredible views! Had almost no problems with the altitude, just a little headache. Our guide Alex was nice, told us something about the lagunes and helped us taking pictures. The hot springs at the end were awesome! The bus ride is pretty long (3h) but apart from this, I do highly recommend this trip!

7 Lakes Hike at Amazing Ausangate - We spent an entire day with guide Robinson La Torre, from 6am until 6:30pm, and enjoyed every moment with him! I'm an avid hiker and don't normally hire guides, but I'm this case it was well worth it. There was so much to see at Ausangate that I had not seen before and his knowledge of the area, is people, culture and history made the trip a much richer experience. It was also very comforting to be with someone who speaks multiple languages, various extra supplies, and is prepared for any situation. This hike is AMAZING, especially with a friend like Robinson making sure you get the most from it!

Great hiking day! - Heber was a very good and funny guide. It is a very beautiful area with the lakes and the mountains in the background. Not to mention all the alpacas that come towards you on the way.
