5.00What impressed me most was how untouched everything felt. No big groups, just us, the mountains, and the seven magical lagoons ✨. The reflections of the sky in the water were so beautiful that I didn’t want to leave.

5.00The hike is not the easiest, but the views are incredible. The snowy peaks of Ausangate, the alpacas along the trail, and the colorful lagoons created the most scenic day I had in Peru. Our guide even prepared a small picnic by the water 🥪, which made it extra special.
Unforgettable day

5.00This was one of the best adventures in Peru! Being able to take the hike at our own pace was such a plus. The guide gave us space when we wanted to reflect and helped when the trail got steep. Nature at its purest.
A wonderful tour
