Wish we could go back and not do this tour. There were so many issues. 1. The operator advised there was a closure and we needed to go to another place so we needed to pay more. 2. We wanted to cancel later on but apparently it was too late, but they gave a strange reason why we couldn't cancel. 3. The tour operator was late for pickup. 4. When we were hiking, we were hiking alone for a large majority of the time. 5. We were supposed to have time to soak in the hot springs, but that never happened. 6. They bring you to a place with bathrooms, but there are no seats and you'll have to pay for TP. Hopefully you don't have to go during your hike. 7. The tour operator sent us a link to pay, but sent us the wrong amount and we were essentially held hostage at the end of the night until we fixed the amount. Oh good. I could go on, but I would simply never book with this tour company ever again.
During the tour, guide Alex and driver Willie generated a good accompaniment from the moment you are picked up at the hotel and during the journey from the Humantay lagoon. They keep an eye on your health and give you tips for the ascent and descent of the mountain. Transportation and restaurant service is spectacular.
