Breathtaking View! - Definitely a breathtaking view of the lake. The hike was worth it! Our tour guide Hilton was nice and checked up on everyone during the hike to make sure we were doing fine with the altitude. Definitely recommend this hike!

Great tour! - Great experience, the tour meets the set. We left very early and arrived earlier than most of the tourists, had about 10 people only when we arrived at the lake. Highlight to the Guide Robinson who was very caring and helped with everything we needed.

SHOCKING!!! - The tour departs early at 4 am from Cusco. It includes breakfast and lunch on return. With regard to trekking it takes an hour and a half to climb and a little less to get down. The climb is steep and you have to understand that the altitude does not help oxygenate well, it is not any hike requires this opto physically. The recommendation would be to do the horse climb for 80 suns if one is not trained but it should be clarified that you only climb then you have to walk down and although it is easier also requires your physical requirement as I said for the altitude conditions. One way or another do not miss reaching the lagoon is worth 100 percent!!!

Maravilhosa - The path to the lake was not steep and the guide Javier, very attentive, recommended us the horse that was essential. Also recommended us the best photos sites, it was all great.

CLIMBING IS NOT EASY, BUT IT IS WORTH ALL!! - First of all: YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED. The climb is pretty tough. Apart from when we went the parking lots were closed by a huaico and we had to walk even more. Acclimate to the height quite a lot and go patiently, there is no rush. It manages to climb and is worth it, but it is quite heavy. Both the Guide and the driver were very friendly and the Guide's explanation in the lagoon was very interesting, only after almost two days of climbing, I would have liked us to be a little more in the lagoon. Somewhere the Guide disappeared during the ascent and you didn't know if you were on the right track or who to turn to if you needed anything. Very good food!

Great views - It’s super nice place and views are amazing but you need to get up early and the food for breakfast and lunch is always the same in these stations - but overall it’s positive experience
