This tour was great! They picked up on time and were very informative. The trek up to the lake is quite difficult, I highly recommend taking the donkey taxi... read more to enjoy the trek and take photos on the way. This is a must see when visiting Cusco.

The hike to Humantay lagoon is totally worth it if the weather is good, also, getting up there was very satisfying and we got very nice pictures. I´d recommend bringing... read more layers and a small light backpack in case you need to strip down. The meals were good, the ride there was scenic and while on the road, we felt very safe with our driver.
If you book, definitely ask for Fredy, he rescheduled and accomodated us at the last minute and also took care of us with a personal tour in Cuzco, booked our private taxi to get around the city and even brought a shaman to our hotel. He was always in touch with us making sure we were entertained and arrived on time to all of our activities.

This day trip isn't going to compete with Machu Picchu or Rainbow Mountain, but if you enjoy learning a little about the culture and history outside of the main tourist... read more areas, I highly recommend this tour. Watching the family prepping the bridge (some watering and stressing) and understanding how this is built annually is really interesting. And riding in the countryside and seeing the small villages is a peek into the past. Yes, the long ride is a bit of a pain, but the vans this company uses do seem to have slightly more legroom than the other vans I rode in on other tours. And tour guide seemed very mindful of photo opportunities along the way, making very brief stops for photos as we saw interesting things along the way, such as the flamingos. I thought the winding road into the valley was cool and asked if we could stop for a few minutes and they obliged. Overall, if getting away from the typical tourist stuff excites you and you want to experience a small slice of very rural life, take this tour!

Overall our guide was fantastic, the view is stunning, and the food was great. However a few things could be improved. First, we didn't know the time that we would... read more get picked up until the afternoon the day before so hard to prepare what the day before should look like. Secondly, Freddy and our guide told us that we would be allowed to bring a drone, however this was not true at all as we immediately got yelled at by the locals. Third, the duration is completely off, we got picked up at 4:15am and did not make it back until 7:45PM, which meant we barely had any time to do anything afterwards. For what amounts to 2:30 hours of hiking, it's not worth it in my opinion.
