Very good experience, our guide Erik was very kind and attentive.
It is a beautiful landscape, the ATV adventure is also very cool, and the guide Erick is very good at his job.
¡Gracias por compartir tu experiencia, Valentina! Nos hace muy felices saber que disfrutaste de la belleza del Glaciar Ausangate y de la emoción del recorrido en cuatrimoto.¡Te esperamos en una próxima aventura!
The route to Ausangate is one of the most impressive things you can do in Cusco. Riding the quad up is great and makes the journey entertaining; the landscapes while ascending are absolutely wonderful and take your breath away. Upon reaching the top, the lagoon is beautiful, with an incredible color, but the real highlight is the unique opportunity to get close and touch the glacier. Being in front of that mass of ice is something else. The organization of the agency was impeccable from start to finish. They were in constant contact with me before and during the tour, which provided a lot of peace of mind. But the best part of all was the guide, Grimaldo; he was a seven. He was incredibly attentive and concerned for every member of the group at all times, ensuring that we were comfortable with the altitude and enjoying the route safely. Totally recommended. My recommendation is not to underestimate the cold.

The experience on the tour was excellent! Our guide Wilfredo was the maximum, he was always attentive to us, he supported us a lot in both up and down, the information he gave us was the best. It also gave us the freedom to drive at our own pace as well. We will definitely come back and look for him!

I’ve done many tours in Cusco, but nothing like this. This was a day full of adrenaline and awe. The quad tour made me feel adventurous, and Ausangate reminded me how powerful nature can be. A memory for life ❤️.

The Andean air was so fresh and cold, but the excitement of the quad kept me warm. Every stop gave us a new angle of Ausangate that looked more beautiful than the last .
