Excellent service!
We took the tour to Vinicunca with the guide José Luis, “El Pacha,” and we could not be more grateful for the experience.
We want to especially highlight his great professionalism, patience, and deep knowledge of this unique and wonderful place. At all times he was attentive to us, making the tour pleasant, calm, and hassle-free.
Without a doubt, we recommend José Luis to all those who want to discover Vinicunca in a special way and fully enjoy this impressive mountain.
Thank you so much for everything, José Luis, and for making this experience an unforgettable memory! 🙏🏻

I was lucky to have Freddy as my guide on the 7-color mountain and it was an amazing experience. He is a very friendly, attentive and patient person. He explained everything in detail, always taking care that the group felt comfortable and enjoyed the tour. Thanks to him, the walk was more bearable and full of good energy. I totally recommend it! 🌈🙌

Good experience visiting Vinicunca
We visited Vinicunca and the Red Valley with Fredy and it was a very good experience. Even though there was a problem with transportation, a solution was sought and the Fredy guide was a good help to spend a great day in an amazing place!
Overall, good vibes!
Maybe the buffet at lunch could improve

Highly recommended
The excursion to the Mountain of 7 Colors was a highly recommended experience, and part of the fault lay with our guide, Fredy, who explained all the details of the route.
He also explained the possibility of also visiting the Red Valley, something I totally recommend.
Besides me personally, that the descent cost me a little, Fredy helped me a lot.
Of all the guides we agreed with on our trip to Peru, it was certainly the one that made us the most pleasant day.
