I absolutely recommend this hike.

Hike very well organized in terms of scheduling, meeting point, and meal management. The guide, Hilton, gave us good advice to manage the climb, he respected our pace, and above all, he explained the history of this mountain and the region to us.

Amazing walk views and tour guide! Be wary of altitude sickness

Beautiful place a tough climb because of the altitude just don't over exert yourself and I advise you are well rested the day before as it is an early start half 3am pick up and got back to Cusco at 4pm! Food included! friendly helpful tour guides looking out for you along the way! They provide some altitude sickness relieving remedies if you can get to the red valley it is well worth it Overall very good value and Would do it again!

A magical experience at Vinicunca and Red Valley

We enjoyed the Vinicunca mountain with Hilton, an excellent guide who recommended we return via an alternative path to enjoy the spectacular views of the Red Valley. The excursion was perfectly organized, with no wait times, leaving early and enjoying a good breakfast and lunch en route. We recommend this experience with Hilton to future travelers, do not miss this opportunity to connect with Pachamama.

Go up on foot, the unforgettable.

A unique and unforgettable experience. The tour delivers what it promises and the guide is the best! There are options to go up by motorcycle and horseback too! Unmatched.
