MY FIRST HIGH ALTITUDE EXPERIENCE!!! LOL

Cee_L, May 2024

Beautiful mountain-guide was attentive to his tour group-the foods were well planned and delicious and our guide Puma took care of our needs to make sure we all got to the mountain whether by bike or horseback--he went with the last of us so i would defintely recommend Alfred Puma for your guide! Didn't get copy of my phots on bike and group photo but all is good. thanks for the experience !

Not a Rainbow but a Worth it beauty

Carlos_A, Nov 2021

The place itself was majestic Spoiler: There’s no Rainbow but the mountain is still a beauty, the trek was challenging, consider always in taking a horse, it’s still worth it. And again don’t underestimate the trek. As for the Travel Agency: Everything went well as planned, Brolli the guide was funny and informative, took good care of each and everyone of us. But, this is something worth mentioning, he made us “lie” that we’re Peruvians in order to save time and let us in into the place fast, he told us this beforehand, and when a guy asked us who’re Foreigners, I nevertheless raised my hand (which to his instruction were not supposed to), and he was like No, no, no and the checking guy just ignored (which maybe he’s aware of such things). My point is, I have much respect in countries or institutions that have COVID Precautions measures and this we have to abide, we really would just have to fill out a form which I believe wouldn’t even take 10mins, this is not to put him in a bad light because he did his job perfectly, it’s just reminding everyone that we are still in a Pandemic.

El servicio de tour nunca se puso en contacto. Perdí un día de mi viaje gracias a esta agencia turística

Excelente passeio a montanha colorida

Ader_P, Jul 2023

A agência cumpriu com todos requisitos e o guia Fred e seu assistente foram excelentes e forneceram todo o suporte para a caminha até o alto da montanha colorida. Recomendo para as pessoas que não tem preparo físico fazerem o percurso até o pé da montanha a cavalo (não incluído ).

En la cima de lo increíble!!

Sebastin_M, Dec 2021

Nuestro guía fue muy atento e ilustrativo acerca de la historia detrás de Vinicunca. Llegar a la cima y apreciar la montaña de los 7 colores hizo que valiera la pena todo el esfuerzo!
