Incredible adventure and very well guided. • Best choice to know the Laguna.
The experience was amazing, we had no problem with anything. The lagoon is indeed exhausting, but we receive support and guidance from beginning to end. All well explained and respecting our limits.
The landscape is beautiful, the Laguna sensational.
Just thank Top Inka Travel. ✨

Gratitude for this rich experience 😊
We hired the agency about 2 months in advance and the agency organized right the tours we wanted to perform. We went to Laguna Humantay, colorful mountain, Machu Picchu, sacred valley, warm waters, mares and moray! Everything was perfect. So much food, schedule, guides! Just thank you for providing this rich experience in Cusco.

Travel of dreams
We made contact with Top Inka in person Miss LEIDY who promptly attended us and pointed out to us all the possibilities of tours we could do. My wife and I chose to take the South Valley, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, 7 Colour Mountain and Humantay Laguna tours. It should be noted that at all times LEIDY was extremely attentive, kind and proactive to make our experience and our special tours. I would like to thank you very much for the contact and attention of Top Inka in the person of Miss LEIDY who provided us with an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend everyone coming to Cusco to get in touch with Top Inka. Finally we still get gifts to remember our trip to Cusco forever.
