Stunning Lake Humanatay - The lake is truly incredible, a must see if you’re near Cusco. Our guide Nilton was very knowledgeable about the history of the lake and the Inca people. He also made sure he stayed with the slowest in the group and kept checking on everyone!

Amazing lagoon - The views along the walk are very beautiful and the lagoon shocking.
They arrived punctual by us to our Airbnb and all this or very well organized by the guide Wilfredo and driver Aniceto, super friendly at all times,
The only detail was that two Colombian ladies who were on our tour did not respect the times or the directions of the guide and we had to wait more than an hour to go to lunch, they did not even follow the route, very rude.

Incredible hike - The trip was amazing! The hike was fun, but hard, and the views incredible! Our guide, Wilfret, was amazing. He accompanied us throughout the hike, checking up on all of us. Importantly, I believe he gained a quick understanding of our hiking/fitness level. He let us more experienced/fit to go on our own faster pace after explaining the route to us. I know from my friend, who was a bit slower, that he kept a close eye on them and gave them encouragement to reach the top.
To those considering the hike, be aware it's tough, but almost everyonecan do it at their own pace. You should wait a few day to climatise to the altitude. There are horses available to rent, but honestly not necessary, it's all about the hike anyway :)
Thanks Wilfret and the driver (I forgot his name, sorry) for the incredible trip and for keeping us safe.
