Rainbow Mountain Hiking Trip from Cusco

Travelling with Ayni Perù means being sure that your trip and holidays become an experience and good memories for the rest of your life. Since the moment you get in touch with Amanda you feel you're in good and expert hands, precise and quick responses and always atentive to every request; than you get to Cusco and you meet up with Domingo, a smiley and cheerfull man who arranges all the logistics and takes care of last minute changes. During the trip Mario and Huber make sure you're doing great and you're enjoying every corner of the marvellous landscape you bump into. Trekking with Ayni is the best and funny part though!! Arrieros are kind and local people who make sure every morning you wake up with a cup of hot tea and the cousine of Julio Cesar is even better than whatever you can try and eat in Cusco city center itself. Man, this guy is a wonderfull chef and can bake a cake even in campsite-kitchen conditions!!! We travelled with a group of 7 italians for two weeks, visited Cusco, Sacred Valley, the beautiful ruins of Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Maras and Moray; climbed up to breathtaking Machu Picchu Mountains from where the Vilcanota river winds its way through craggy and lush peaks, trekked for 6 days the challenging route of Vinicunca-Ausangate which was particularly and wonderfully taylor made for us and ended up our journey at Titicaca Lake and the city of Puno. Not as single details have been missed and everything worked excellently and smoothly. If you travel to Cusco area and the Southeast of Perù this is the company to travel with Looking forward to meeting you next year guys Saludos Marco

My fiance and I used Ayni Peru Expeditions in early November for a private guided trek to the Rainbow Mountain and throughout the surrounding area. Our guide Urbano was absolutely great in communicating with us about the trip, keeping us focused on our health and safety throughout, and guiding us through the beautiful, rugged landscape on our way. We chose the 3 night / 4 day trek but sadly, though we had accclimated in Cusco for 4 days beforehand, we got altitude sickness on our first day and made the decision to return to Cusco the following day as we were unable to keep our oxygen levels up even with the use of the emergency tank. A note on this: Ayni takes a large tank that can be used many times before running out as opposed to the smaller, single/double-use tanks some companies use. We were very thankful for this! Urbano and his team were very helpful in getting us back down the mountain to the bus they arranged earlier that morning to come back early for us. Though we did not finish our trek, the sleeping/camp accommodations were great (and in the most picturesque area below the Rainbow Mountain) and the food was absolutely delicious (what we could eat of it as the sickness had taken much of our appetite). Also, our trek was a great success as I was lucky to be proposed to atop the Rainbow Mountain summit at the end of day 1! All in all we loved our trek, we loved working with Urbano and Ayni and can't wait to return and plan another trek with them!
