A beautiful trekking, with landscapes that take your breath away from how beautiful they are. I really enjoyed the experience. Besides, Beto was very nice and was very attentive to the needs of the group. Highly recommended the activity.
Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaste del trekking a Ausangate y las 7 Lagunas, un recorrido realmente impresionante por algunos de los paisajes más hermosos de los Andes cerca de Cusco. También agradecemos tus amables palabras sobre Beto. Nos encanta saber que estuvo atento a las necesidades del grupo y que contribuyó a que la experiencia fuera aún más especial y agradable. Gracias nuevamente por recomendarnos. Esperamos verte pronto en una nueva aventura por Perú.
This excursion is tough, but beautiful, and the scenery is spectacular and worth a lot. I recommend it as long as physically one has sufficient resistance, since they are 14km and the height is quite rating in the form of tiredness and a little palpitations (in my case, at least). Our guide, Beto, was great to me. He was very patient and, even though I fell quite behind the group, he accompanied me and helped me a lot to get to the end with his recommendations and encouragement (I thought he didn’t make it). It helps a lot to have a guide like Beto because he knows how to transmit his wisdom and confidence to tourists. Thank you very much:)
