My husband and I had a wonderful time on this day trip! The day was perfectly planned out, with breathtaking views. We loved the horseback riding and walking around the 7 lakes. The meals were also delicious. A huge thank you to Juan, who was so kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He made the experience all the more enjoyable. We’d very highly recommend this tour!

Exceptional experience with Chullos Travel Peru on the Ausangate 7 Lakes excursion from Cusco! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire tour was very well organized. Our tour guide Ghislain was really good—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco!
