Summary:
We made an excursion to Aguas Turquesas with Huancaraylla agency and had a great day. The Guide was very Pro and close, explaining details that have made our visit more complete. We chose this agency in Ayacucho because we received very friendly attention and explained in detail what we would do during the excursion. We would definitely recommend it and if we had more days in Ayacucho, we would have made other excursions they propose.

Summary:
The excursion to the turquoise waters of Millpu was wonderful, they are professionals! But the thing that I appreciated most was the commitment and willingness on the part of Diana, the owner, to help me organize the trip to Cusco without earning anything! Really thoughtful!
