I fully enjoyed the trip with Machupicchu MountainTours. Palcoyo was really worth visiting, I hadn’t realized how close you can get to the rainbow mountain colors though I recommend not going on your first day at altitude. 5000m without acclimatization is hard going but even if you don’t have time to acclimatize, like I didn’t, it’s still worth it. The side trip to look at an Inca bridge on the way was cool too. Our guide Daniele was very friendly and informative, and well stocked with oxygen etc. She added the icing to the cake of the trip.
Everything went very well. The guide, Daniela, was very attentive and provided us with a lot of information. Transportation, and buffet fine. I advise this agency for tour in Cuzco
We did the day trip to Rainbow Mountain, our guide Grey. Very attentive all the team, with commensurate explanations. Breakfast and lunch included. The only thing to mark as negative is that they did NOT notice that breakfast was in a shed without walls, very cold, it was not too abundant. However lunch was much better and richer (same place but less cold). Unfortunately we had a cloudy day and it even snowed on top, but that is uncommon. Out of that, great ride. Special mention to Florence that made the reservation
