A helpful guide
Our guide noticed that one person in our group was struggling with the altitude. He stayed nearby and kept checking that everyone was okay. I really liked that he cared about the group instead of just following a schedule.

A breath of fresh mountain air
The atmosphere at Palcoyo was incredible. Quiet trails, huge skies, colorful mountains, and that crisp Andean air made the whole experience feel refreshing.
M
Early pickup but very well coordinated.
Expect a 4:30 AM pickup, but it’s worth it. The group size was around 12 people, which felt personal enough. The included breakfast and lunch were simple but warm and filling.
