Yonatan remembered the names and faces, and he made sure to take a proper roll call so that the members wouldn't fall apart. The guidance is both polite and humorous. did Since it's early in the morning, you can arrive early and take as many photos as you want!! It's a reliable tour, so I recommend it to Japanese people!
Had a great day with Yonathan as our guide! He was very positive and knowledgeable about Inca history, the mountain and many other facts! The lake is incredible and the views of the valley are some of the best I’ve seen! The food is great for breakfast and lunch and is a great deal.
Everything was spectacular, the guide Jhonatan and the driver César were geniuses, very respectful and provided spectacular information about everything.
My brother and I had a great day trip. I would especially like to highlight our guide Jonathan. He was very friendly, told us a lot, and was always there when one needed something. Also, the local food was really very delicious.
Everything super organized, I honestly was hesitant because I didn't know who to contact, I booked on the tripadvisor page and they surprised me, I also booked all my other tours with them. I give them a 10
We had such a great time going to Lake Huamantay. Our guide Jaime was hilarious and super helpful and informative. The food was surprisingly great and it was very affordable
Our guide Yonatan was very informative and energetic, he did a great job and would definitely recommend this tour to others
Beautiful place, must see if you have time. Hike is relatively easy if you're in decent shape and acclimated to the elevation. Walk starts at about 3900m (12,797'), tops out at 4200m (13,780'). Round trip drive time is around 6 hours. Departed at 4am. Crowd was growing through the morning so early departure is worth it.
Wonderful lagoon at the top of the mountain! We did the initial hike, then we went up on horseback and another stretch walking. Beautiful and fun! And at the top, a spectacle in blue. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
We unfortunately hit a day with rain which later turned to snow! Was not prepared for this! Regardless of the hard hike and strange weather it was a fabulous trip! We ended up using the mules up and down for part of the hike! The lake was still gorgeous just looked a bit like Christmas time. All of the guides were extremely kind! The food prepared for both breakfast and lunch were great. Would highly recommend.
