In a word: praiseworthy, Pretty sterling service with a brilliant guide and boss driver. The Palccoyo hike is really an off -the beaten-track and the area was almost entirely for ourselves, zero crowds! Remarkable trip with this company. The early pick up was around 3:45am which is a bit too early. However it's totally worth it to have longer time at the rock forest.
Amazing day at Palccoyo, highly recommended, if you want to skip the crowds and enjoy not 1 but 3 rainbow mountains - The local community run a little Potato museum that is really authentic and picturesque. Great tour with kontiki hikes company.
Highly recommend this company. Very efficient and professional. Guide was very gentle and knowledgeable and delicicious food in Cusipata!
