Singrenacocha is a terrific day tour and the tour was very well organised. It's a very beautiful place about 3 hours from Cusco and involves a fairly easy walk, despite the 4500 metre altitude of about 4 kms to the lookout. The blue glacial lake leads up to high snow-covered mountains. All around are lots of alpacas and llamas. There were 3 of us plus our excellent guide and it seemed ridiculous, given the natural beauty, to us that we had whole site to ourselves. On the way back to Cusco an excellent meal was included at a community centre in Cuyuni using local produce.

I recommend this tour the surreal, wonderful landscapes, we did the tour that includes hiking the guide David was attentive all the time, he was very kind to me as I could not have breakfast he gave me bread, also at the end I had a little discomfort and was ready with florid water to cheer me up, the vehicle seats were very comfortable we took a nap on the return, the lunch included was delicious I tried breaded chicken with quinoa also served as an entrance soup quinoa and to finish a rich dessert, the experience is unforgettable the photographs are a valuable memory of this majestic place, David indicated us the places with better angles for our photographs, we took photos of couple and individual magazine cover! Peru is beautiful for sure we will be back soon 😁
Spectacular. Stop visiting. It is very worthwhile and a very quiet tour luis the guide was very supportive and kept an eye on us all
It's just wonderful. If you want something quiet to walk, this option is great because although if you walk, it is not more than 3 km maximum so it is much better than the Laguna de humantay 100% recommended
It was an incredible experience to witness the lagoon. A unique moment to connect with nature. It was worth it! Super Indico
Another wonderful day with Vipac. The guide David made us understand the importance of preservation and to appreciate the beautiful without destroying. Complete connection with nature and spirit. We had contact with the local people and it was beautiful. The lagoon is incredible!
A place that beyond carrying it in the photo you will carry it in your soul forever, thank you for this experience Luis David, Johan and José.
I loved the place, it was a great experience, the attention of Guide David Alba was very good and friendly I recommend the place.
We spent a morning near Lagoa Sirenacocha - or singrenacocha! Beautiful place, light walk, exuberant view! Guide Fabian conducted our visit gently and with rich explanations about the local culture! 4,500m altitude
The Sigrenacocha lagoon is definitely worth it! While it is 3 hs journey from Cusco, the experience is super enjoyable and the end amazing. The silence of the place, the turquoise water and the friendliness of the VIPAC staff, in space of David Alba, make the whole journey very pleasant. Thanks for that!
Beautiful place, amazing to be in this beauty. A little-known place, hidden from mass tourism. Excellent attention from David and Jhimy guides
Excellent...magical place. Turquoise lagoon, with native birds, surrounded by mountains with glaciers. Only with a low effort 20 minute walk. To recommend
