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.
The best adventure in Peru

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

5.00I’d never seen water so colorful in my life. The private guide was great, sharing legends about Ausangate and the lagoons. Don’t forget to bring warm layers and good boots. It gets cold up there!

5.00The silence of the mountains, the vivid blues and greens of the lagoons, and the presence of llamas and alpacas along the trail made this an unforgettable day. It felt sacred and peaceful. A real escape from the noise of everyday life.

5.00I’ve done a lot of hikes around the world, but this one really stands out. The altitude made it challenging, but the guide helped a lot with coca tea and encouragement. The views of the lagoons were totally worth the effort. A must-do for nature lovers!
An amazing adventure from start to finish!

5.00The Ausangate area is just stunning. The seven lagoons each had their own unique color and view. It was great to do this as a private tour , more personal, and we could stop for pictures and rest whenever we wanted.
