Wonderful Rainbow mountain🌈

High altitude day with Paqarina.......😎😎😎😎 The experience is amazing at the top of the mountain! It would not have been so amazing without the punctuality and detailed explanation of our guide Jenny and our driver Edilberto, who gave us tips on how to climb the mountain and at all times was attentive to what we needed, it was a good idea to take the tour in private so we could better manage the times and always accompanied by Jenny who has much knowledge of the Andean areas of the Rainbow mountain.

AMAZING DAY IN THE MOUNTAIN OF COLORS...!!!!!

Anderson was our guide. From the hotel pick-up was at the agreed time, it was punctual. Anderson was attentive to each member of his group, as our fitness level varies because the ages of the group were not the same. It made us feel safe and gave us plenty of time at the top to enjoy the views. The views were stunning. I recommend Anderson and Paqarina Journeys Peru for this adventure
