No communication from tour company, they cancelled the tour at 4am the day of after we were dressed and ready to go. Do not book
Great experience, specialty the guide Alex and the driver Dante. I recommend the agency and guides.
We had Alex as our guide for our lake humantay visit and he was super attentive and checked in on is frequently. He made sure the group was relatively going the same pace and made sure no one was left behind.
Good experience with Wilfredo for the walk
Had a great hike and experience with Francesco, the walking sticks really made a difference in the hike up to the lake.
Great place, super adventure, and our guide Franchesco was pretty solid in helping us hike up and down (and find alternatives by taking a horse as I got out of breath). Communication was well coordinated and we had breakfast and lunch included (which we badly needed after the intense hike). Everything was great other than the fact that the vehicle was not air conditioned. In the morning at 4am, they gave us blankets (and thank god for that) because it was cold but I wonder why they didn’t have heating on and similarly in the afternoon, when the temperatures rose, we didn’t have cooling / air conditioning work! If we were told that the vehicle would be air conditioned, that should have been the case!
Very nice tour, the team was experienced, ready to quickly solve any challenges. The hike is tough and you need a lot of focus to keep going. The view at the top is absolutely worth it, you can almost touch the energy surrounding the mountain. Breakfast and lunch were also good.
Heber was a great guide - very informative and helpful. The hike was very good, slightly challenging at the end but very doable and the views were amazing. All very worth it.
Super Wally super nice. Always positive. Love from Singapore. Highly recommended.
Did the Humantay Lake Tour with Tito. Good friendly guide and shared alot of knowledge on Incan beliefs. Would recommend tour to others.
