Highlighted reviews from other travelers
It was great. The Guide was friendly and helpful. The food was awesome as well. The normal time to stay at the lake is 45 mins. It would be much better if it will be 1 hour 15 mins or 1 hour 30 mins so we could appreciate the area more since it is also a bit hard to move around at that elevation. But overall its good. Early start early end.
The views of the lake and the snow mountain Humantay, were absolutely beautiful, it’s a physically demanding trail, but it’s totally worth it when you reach the top. The food of the restaurant included was outstanding and the guide made the experience something special.
