Amazing 2 day Colca Canyon Trek with Mario
We had an incredible trek through Colca Canyon with Mario! He was an excellent guide, very patient, encouraging, and full of great stories about local culture, history, , and condors along the way. The views into the canyon were absolutely stunning, and Mario made sure the pace worked for everyone in the group while keeping things fun and safe. Staying overnight in the canyon and watching the sunrise was magical.

Mixed experience
Mixed experience: the organization of the accommodation was great, quality meals, however, we were transferred from bus to bus on the last day probably because the agency did not have enough clients (with all our luggage) without any help from the guides and drivers. We changed minibuses 3 times in 3 hours. Furthermore, on the second day, our guide did not wake up to start the tour. When he arrived an hour late, he was completely drunk, unable to hold his water bottle in his hands, let alone walk. Regarding the person responsible for our safety (we had a 2-year-old child), this is completely abnormal. According to Intiperou, our guide was tired (we took videos; he smelled of alcohol, could not speak, and could not walk).

Nice trek with exceptional views
Hiked the two day trek and it was quite rewarding, on the first day it was mostly downhill hikes with incredible views and condors flying above, the accommodation was basic but comfortable and the guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. On the second day, it was all up hill hike, make sure to carry plenty of water. Thankfully we started at dawn so we could reach to the point before noon.
