Thanks Carlos for an... - Thanks Carlos for an enjoyable day. While it wasn’t the right time of year to see the green vegetation, I enjoyed having the park to ourselves, the views, the birds and the unusual rock formations.
Also thanks for taking me to taste amazing seafood on the way back.

Best Trip with the Best Guide - My friend and I had the best time with Carlos, he gave us insight to so much of Lomas history and vegetation. We seen so many native birds including an owl, as well as eagles and some cute lizards. We loved the views and thanks to Carlos offering us sunscreen, we didn't experience another sunburn. What a beautiful experience to do this hike on my birthday and basicslly have the park to ourselves since it is Christmas. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Be sure to bring snacks just in case!

A beautiful place just north of Lima - Carlos is a terrific guide, knowledgeable, pleasant, reliable. The lomas are amazing locations for folks who love plants and animals. The landscape there is beautiful. The hike has some steep hills but Carlos is willing to go slow as needed. Highly recommend this day trip.

Great daytrip from Lima, highly recommended! - I can highly recommend going on the Lomas de Lachay tour with Los Cazadunas. The Lomas were beautiful when me and my girlfriend went in October. We saw a lot of wildlife ranging from different birds, insect and reptiles. It was just the two of us on the tour together with our kind and funny guide Carlos. He was very knowledgeable about the area but also peruvian nature in general. Overall a great experience that i would recommend to anyone looking for an interesting daytrip from Lima.

Highly recommend this Lomas de Lachay hike - This was such a good booking! Highly recommend this excursion. Me and my brother did this trip in winter time so the Lomas were full of flora because of the fog. We learned a lot and got some really great pictures and views on the hike. It was a long but not difficult hike which was worth the time. Our guide got us breakfast, let us find some rocks to go bouldering and was very accommodating to make our trip awesome.

Great Day in the Mist - A great day at Lomas de Lachay with Rodrigo. Pick-up at our hotel was prompt and the stop for some fresh bread en route was amazing. The hike around Lomas de Lachay was do-able and interesting. While it was very foggy and misty, it was a magical walk through the woods.
