I had an amazing experience with Peru Expeditions! I took a private tour to Laguna 69 with Yonatan. He was very knowledgable about the route and the flora/fauna. He also kindly carried my bag for the last kilometer. Peru Expeditions truly went above and beyond for this experience. I definitely recommend booking a private tour. The groups from other companies were large and you didn't get a lot of time at the lake. Yonatan let me stay as long as I wanted to and even helped me take photos! Thank you Yonatan and Peru Expeditions!
I had an unforgettable experience thanks to the agency. Their service was professional, friendly, and very helpful throughout my entire trip😊
