Early morning, high altitude, epic views, and The warm lunch after the hike back down was absolutely spot on. Definitely one of the best days in Peru!
The early start was tough, but the delicious local meals kept us going. Our guide was super attentive, making sure everyone was safe with the altitude. Highly recommend this small group option!
The hike is relatively short but very steep at the end, and the thin air makes it a workout. The reward at the top is completely worth every gasp of air. The lunch buffet afterwards was fantastic
Everything about this tour was 5-star. Having both breakfast and a hearty lunch buffet included in the price saved us so much hassle. The mountain views, the alpacas, and the friendly locals made it a perfect day.
