    A spectacular tour

    We loved the experience! My mistake was to go without acclimatizing to Cusco first. What most affects is the height more than the walk itself. The reward is an incredible view of the lagoon! I recommend wearing trekking shoes because if it rains it can become slippery. It is a very complete tour with breakfast and lunch included (very rich everything). Highly recommended!

    The tour was very good is one of the tours that have a beautiful destination, however if I would like to make some comments about it: The bus or van we were traveling in was already very old and the air conditioning was fatal it did not cool anything, the food very rich however I suggest to include the drink in the cost and the truth is very limited in portions there were many people who were hungry in my group, finally the guide spoke very little in terms of explanations however I must discard that he was always very dependent on the group.
