    Beautiful views but it is a trip only for people with good condition (there is an option to ride a horse for a charge). There are two meals in Peruvian style: breakfast and lunch in form of buffet. Guide was good. Organisation was really poor. We've paid for trip with pick-up from the hotel and someone from organization team should contact us 24 hours before the start. Noon did it... After we contacted them by ourselves, it has been confirmed that pick-up will be from the hotel at 4:20. 8 hours before the trip, organization has changed his mind and asked if we can go to the pick-up point... We've not agreed on this as it was dark and we didn't know the city. We've asked again for clarification if someone will pick-up us but with no response. On the day of a trip, we were waiting 40 minutes in front of our hotel but no one arrived. We've called organizator and it seems they forget about us. Thankfully they sent a taxi which drove us to the bus. The beginning of a trip was streasfull

    What a wonderful trip! The breakfast is on the smaller side so load up on snacks. The lunch is FABULOUS! The hike is very hard but you can rent a horse/donkey if you’d like. The lake and mountains are beautiful! The tour made everything so easy and informative. Definitely recommend

    This was such an amazing experience! PLEASE NOTE: I am a fit 30 year-old woman who does average amounts of hiking, and due to the strenuous nature of this hike, as well as altitude sickness, I ended up opting to rent a donkey to take me up the mountain! It is NO JOKE. That being said, riding a donkey up a mountain was a very cool Peruvian experience and I loved every minute of it! The Lagoon is GORGEOUS and totally worth it. My one disappointment was that the tour guide, after I asked, informed me that the Condor outlook no longer exists due to tourists showing up with drones, which ruined the condor habitat (humans suck). I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. The food was also delicious! The drive was not too long as it was broken up by the meals. Be prepared to get picked up SUPER EARLY.
