Wonderful place, rewarding the physical effort and the early morning.
Yonatan was an amazing Tour guide very nice, helpful and knowledgeable!! 10/10 recommend
I'ts a great expirience and the best tour guide Jonathan, thank you and see you again.
Yonatan has been by far the best guide I experienced in Peru excursions the last days that I’m visiting. He has been particularly thorough with explanations and care for all individuals in a very calm and peaceful way. He has also been very thoughtful with people that have been late or needed help. Thank you, Yonatan
A wonderful experience, with an idyllic setting and a very friendly guide named Yonatan!
The trip was tough for me because of the COLD morning. (There was even ice during our hike) Eventually the van heated (by our body warmth?) and breakfast was open air and adequate. The sun brought joy and warmth and things got better. We (both are young 70 yo)took horses up and walked back bc of altitude. Very sweet ride. There is an hour long flat walk to the horses. Extraordinary land and views!!! The lake was okay. Return lunch was exceptional !
Everything was very well organized and punctual. I loved the entire experience. I also liked that we were given free time to take photos and rest before explaining the history of the place. The tour with Yonatan was excellent. I recommend it!
Our guide Yonatan was excellent. The tour was very well organized, and Yonatan provided us with great history about Laguna Humantay and was always attentive to everyone. The included breakfast and lunch were excellent. The morning starts off cold, so I recommend bringing very warm clothing, gloves, and a hat, and then some lighter clothing underneath because the day warms up a bit during the hike. The sun is strong as well, so I recommend sunglasses and a cap.
Yonathan was so knowledgeable and patient! The hike was beautiful and well organised, I really enjoyed the historical context that Yonathan shared with us about the Andes.
Perfect, great service, very attentive.
