Excellent experience. Beautiful landscapes. We believe that it would be important to warn the people who will take the excursion the level of demand for lack of oxygen.
The landscapes were amazing, even more with the snow! A little slippery, but it was worth it. The guide was excellent, very attentive and dear!
This was an incredible experience! The hike is challenging, but totally doable, you just have to take your time - our guide was extremely patient with us, and allowed each person in the group to move at their own pace. She even walked my wife down to the basecamp when she was not feeling well, and then made her way back up to meet us as we were making our descent. Totally worth the trip!
Indescribable Unique place with unique beauty Challenger But the view rewards everything We didn't have any setbacks Everything perfect
Vanessa was kind and encouraged us to take our time. She checked on us to make sure we were OK during the hike. Great guide.
An entirely magical experience. If you are in Peru, this must be experienced. An incredibly nice trip. Beautiful landscape. This is strongly recommended. Once you've got in and up the top, I recommend you go back via Red Valley. It's a must to get with. The view there is completely epic. Incredibly beautiful. Look at the pictures I put on.
Teo Rossel and the whole team was excellent. Very friendly people, delicious food, beautiful scenery. Highly recommended. Anyone who has the opportunity to go to Peru should go with this team
