Careful guide. But they could improve the breakfast and lunch. The bathroom of the restaurant for coffee is lunch had no toilet paper and neither paper towel.

The entire tour was excellent from the pick up Yurema was always very friendly and professional They fulfilled everything offered and we were happy for the kindness and patience between tour and tour. Thank you very much. I recommend it.
Gem of an experience to the lake humantay. The transfer from Cusco to the starting point was through a scenic route but the hike was quite challenging especially because of the altitude, but the views along the way compensated for it. Hilda was very nice and friendly and was always around to help us.
