I got to Humantay!!! - I have been in Peru for 2 weeks and unfortunately I had 2 guides who damaged several experiences, including Machu Picchu. When Freddy came looking for us, he quickly gave me confidence, emanated good vibe and so it was. The hike to the Humantay Lagoon is strong and challenging, especially for people like me who live at sea level.During the hike, Freddy quickly perceived that he was not having a good time, but with his words of encouragement, always watching over my physical safety, I managed to reach the lagoon. I only have words of gratitude and that is why I recommend this tour. Thanks Freddy.
