Very good but if you plan to go to Peru you must prepare physically everything is walking and the physical effort is quite - Excellent!!! The Veronica Guide has a good vibe and gave an excellent service I recommend 💯 the visit to the Humantai lagoon although it is strong the climb up the steep when you get to the place until tears come out.

Excellent visit to the lagoon - A wonderful experience. There is no denying that we had a bit of concern about the mountain climb, but everything went perfect. They rented Creole horses to part of the group and the others went up on foot. At the end we walked a bit and found that beautiful turquoise lagoon. It feels incredible peace. We arrived early at the suggestion of our Guide Max and it was the best, because we were among the first. We took the cutest pictures and some explored the surroundings. It is very nice, and we enjoyed the experience enormously. The snowfall caps the landscape next to rocky mountains of the beautiful Andes.

Very good - The hike is tired but worth it, the incredible mountain views, it is cold, you have to be prepared for the hike, the guides are friendly and help in all situations. Horses are rented to climb, which also look tired.

Recommended - There are so many agencies in Cusco it's hard to pick one. After searching and consulting we chose Machu Picchu Peru Tours and I can say it was an excellent decision. Responsible, good communication and service. On this specific tour we were assigned Veronica as Guide and Don Fer as Pilot. Vero was aware that we were okay and any discomfort we could feel about the height, he gave us recommendations and Fernando is a very good driver. How they picked us up around 4am and it was cold, they gave us a blanket to cover up on the way out. It was a nice experience accompanied by an agency which he did not hesitate to recommend.

Excellent trip!! - Excellent trip!! The lagoon is beautiful, beautiful!! Edmar's guide was very very good, he is a great connoisseur of the culture and has great charisma… I recommend this tour! Likewise, the tour to Machu Pichu and the mountain of 7 colors was the best, the guides Verónica and Dennis are also great people and knowledgeable about the territory, in short a good experience and trip with this tourism agency!!

A wonderful place - The Humantay Lagoon was my favorite place I visited in Peru. It is a sacred and magical place. Wilson, our Guide, took the time to explain how Humantay is sacred to the locals and did a special activity for our group, in addition, he was always attentive to our well-being. The only reason I don’t put 5 stars is because our group was very large and the van we were transported in was not so comfortable, which prevented us from resting on the rides.

Humantay lake is great but tour not as advertised - We picked this tour as it mentioned that it had a MAXIMUM of 10 participants (as we prefer small groups) but we were 19! We were the first to be picked up at 4.20am and spent the next 35/40mins picking up other people around Cusco. Therefore it added more time to the journey. It was a rough start but the rest of the day went as planned. Humantay lake is challenging but definitely worth it!
