Amazing experience

I loved the experience! Well organised trip, no delays. Spot for breakfast and lunch was also so nice - good selection of food. Monica, my guide is the nicest person in the entire world! She explained everything well, kept all group together and made sure that we are all on time. And also reassured that everyone got experience individually designed- she encouraged people to take horse or motorbike if they feel like they want this , without making anyone feeling uncomfortable. Also, she recommended me to expand my hike to Red Valley and that was the best decision ever! I really recommend to go on excursion with Monica , I enjoyed her energy and enthusiasm!

Great experience with Monica at Rainbow Mountain!

Although there was an operational mistake with the pick-up location, it didn't overshadow Monica's professionalism. She gave crystal-clear instructions about the meeting point and provided thorough, insightful explanations about the five colorful layers of Rainbow Mountain.

Most beautiful experience

The tour started very punctually, Joel our guide and the driver picked us up at the door of our accommodation and we arrived very early for both breakfast and lunch, the landscape towards the mountain is very, very beautiful and the uphill journey is quite pleasant, they lent us trekking poles and you can see snow-capped mountains, llamas, and alpacas. Our guide gave us very good recommendations for photos at the top and in our case we wanted to try alpaca chicharrón, he was also very patient with the people who were not going at a very fast pace, at the end of the tour he gave us a great explanation about the history of the mountain, 100% recommended

I saw you, Huacachina Lagoon

They picked us up on time at the hotel, Fredy our guide behaved wonderfully and with his knowledge gave us an explanation without missing a detail of the place where we were and the importance of the Cusco people. Thank you for this experience that is never forgotten
