Great trip! The hike takes some effort, but reaching the turquoise water is pure magic. Doing it privately with the Coca ceremony made the whole day feel extra special.
Such a peaceful day out of Cusco. Going privately allowed us to take our time and enjoy the lake without feeling rushed. The local Coca ceremony made the trip feel truly authentic.
I went with the guide Ever forever, everything went very well, he was very kind and took very good photos
Great excursion with good food in the morning and at lunch. Our guide, Heber Forever, guided us well and took some nice pictures of us.
Francesco was the besto. My only side note was that pickup was done in different location from what was originally set.
