He was always pushing us to stay positive and made our hike so so memorable! The provided breakfast and lunch were a much needed energy boost and the view was spectacular.

Best Day Ever! - My friend and I booked this trip and had zero expectations before it started. It ended up being an incredible experience that I know I will remember for the rest of my life. I genuinely believe this tour was so amazing because of the guide, Wally. He made everyone feel so comfortable and appreciated. He kept reminding us to stay positive throughout the whole journey and his encouraging words were the reason why I was able to finish the hike. The hike was definitely not easy and was a physical and mental challenge, but it was worth it for the view. I also cannot believe how incredible the price for this tour was. This is your sign, GO ON THIS TOUR!

Recommended - A very beautiful place, we were able to spend a considerable amount of time and admire in peace, the guide Wally was very friendly, close, always attentive and concerned to make our experience the best!! A good guide makes the difference on a tour.
The food place could improve, they asked me to get up from the table because other people came when I was still eating and you didn't even finish eating and they were already taking your plate away.

Humantay Lagoon - Review - A great tour with Wally, who explained the itinerary to us step by step, arrived on time and resolved all doubts.
He was very helpful and kind and helped people who needed it! He did the bilingual tour for all of us who were in a group and when we got to the top he explained to us and we did a ritual to connect with nature, it was incredible!
Wally the best attitude, Wally always positive 🫰🏻

Perfect day with a great guide - What a wonderful day to Humanatay. Our guide Wally, Always Positive was his mantra, made the day run smoothly. He made sure to explain about his culture, and all about humanatay, along with making sure everyone was OK. We were even treated to a special traditional ceremony playing homage to Pacha Mama which Wally was kind enough to share with us all. I will not forget such a special day. Thanks Wally and Curillo our driver for getting us there and back safely.

Trip to Laguna Humantay. In Magic Cusco Travel: 100% recommended - The experience of the trip to Laguna Humantay was very exciting and unique. Not only did it meet my expectations, it exceeded them. In this sense, thanks to the management of the tourism company In magic Cusco travel, and a mention to the trip guide "Wally" for his great professionalism, highlighting his charisma, expertise, empathy and disposition.
On the other hand, I loved the breakfast and lunch food. It has been a great experience.
Thank you so much!!

Recommended - The landscape was very beautiful 😊, the guide was very good, close to the people and very concerned, Waly was a great guide.
But I didn't like the experience with the food, the people in charge took our plates before finishing, they wanted to take us away from the table and we still hadn't finished eating and that was the only unpleasant thing.
And I want to once again highlight Waly as a super good tourist guide.
