Amazing day out - Excellent day out! Strongly recommend just be sure you get used to the altitude spending some time in Cusco first as it is only a short 6km walk but is fairly steep and quite hard work if you are not fit. Horses are available at cost but remember to take Soles

A turquoise treasure in the Andes - The climb tires, but when the view arrives it erases all the effort. The turquoise lagoon in front of the snowy is magical, a place that excites.

Travel and unforgettable experience. - I really loved the Tours, Guillermo the guide ES the best guide we have ever had, ES from the beginning is very attentive and empathetic to everyone. Thank you very much to Guillermo and the driver very kind. DE fact there was a couple who could NO longer continue and the return running POR 2 horses so they could lkegar. The place is beautiful you will have NO regrets. Decide POR this agency you will have NO regrets and if you have Guillermo greet him for me.

Lagoa Humantay - What a wonderful place!!! Upon reaching the lagoon, the effort of climbing is rewarded. The climb and descent are not easy, so be physically prepared.

Humantay reality! - In my opinion caution should be exercised no one tells you it is a road with stones. Something and bass. The muddy earth season depends. You can get on horseback but the poor if they see very tired and do not climb you to the top. For me it's dangerous, nice experience but not for everyone.

Laguna humantay - We went to Laguna humantay and we did with the guide Monica who was very dear, helpful and had a lot of patience with us! We had a bad time during the tour and the guide Monica helped us! The only thing that left us a little uncomfortable was the speed of the driver on the roads! But the walk is beautiful and worth it! The place that stops for food is also very good! We thanked our guide for the help, because without her we would not have finished hahah we were riding, which helped us a lot to complete the track for our health conditions at the moment!

Climbing the mountain is a unique experience, the view and places that are toured without unique, unmissable experience. - The lagoon is beautiful and its surroundings too, getting there is not easy as the hike requires very good physical condition, additional it is important to avoid altitude sickness with the recommendations given by guides.

HORSE, EXPLOITATION - Everything that was the excursion (breakfast, buffet lunch), excellent, Just like the guide! Very kind. I put 3 circles, because, I made the SERIOUS ERROR OF HORSEBACK RIDING, out of fear. Honestly the worst decision in the world, I'm so sorry. Who knows how many times a day they should go up, the guide told me that 1 or 2 times maximum, however, I don't think so. I have seen the tiredness of the poor animals, being forced to follow. Please DO NOT GO ON HORSEBACK 🙏🏽 I made the terrible mistake of doing it, there should not be that. Well, animal exploitation.
