Traveler reviews
Only go if you like riding the bus.
I had a terrible experience. They agreed on a time and took almost 1 hour, leaving us in an 8-degree cold at 4 in the morning. The trip there was smooth, but we were very late, arriving as the last to enter the park. The tour was a bit rushed, breakfast and lunch were quite reasonable, with no infrastructure for tourism. The return was delayed, they said around 7 PM, we arrived at 8:30 PM, the guides don't control the people and it causes delays. In short, I don't recommend it to anyone, 7 hours on the bus for 4 hours of sightseeing.
Good outsourced tour, problems with organization and logistics
The day I took the tour, it was outsourced. On behalf of the outsourced team, I have already done the evaluation at the link the guide gave me. Great guides and drivers. Bad van We had a 30-minute delay waiting for a passenger that I thought the tolerance should be less. On behalf of Machu Picchu trips, as I have mentioned in other reviews, I think there are communication and logistics problems. This 7 Lakes tour leaves Cusco very early, around 4 am. Until close to 10 PM the night before, I still hadn't received clear information about the time and location of departure. Until an employee from Machu Picchu Viagens called me asking if I had a tour to the colored mountain the next day! I had to correct it!
7 Ausangate lagoons
A very good trip, but it requires a lot of courage and preparation to go from beginning to end. The guide I highly recommend, Javier, attentive, calm, and always asking if we are well. The tour included breakfast, lunch, and they even picked us up at the hotel in the morning. Look for guide Javier and have an excellent experience on your trip!
