Unforgettable adventure - Bring layers, it’s freezing at the top even when the sun’s out. Also, hiking poles helped a lot on the way down. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you’re up for a physical adventure, this one’s unforgettable.

Memorable moments - Our guide led a short ceremony at the lagoon, giving thanks to Pachamama (Mother Earth). It was a beautiful and memorable moment that added so much depth to the day.

Friendly staff - We had the option to rent a horse for part of the way up, which helped a lot since I wasn’t used to the altitude. The locals providing this service were friendly and respectful.

- The tour was amazing and perfect! Ysmael was a great guide, that besides making it possible to visit the lagoon alone, following an outstanding trail, shared its knowledge of tge history and mythology of the place, which made it even more special!
