Demanding but beautiful adventure
Excellent experience. Beautiful landscapes. We believe that it would be important to warn the people who will take the excursion the level of demand for lack of oxygen.

The landscapes were amazing, even more with the snow! A little slippery, but it was worth it. The guide was excellent, very attentive and dear!

This was an incredible...
This was an incredible experience! The hike is challenging, but totally doable, you just have to take your time - our guide was extremely patient with us, and allowed each person in the group to move at their own pace. She even walked my wife down to the basecamp when she was not feeling well, and then made her way back up to meet us as we were making our descent. Totally worth the trip!

A must while in Peru!!! You will not regret it, promise 😊
An entirely magical experience. If you are in Peru, this must be experienced. An incredibly nice trip. Beautiful landscape. This is strongly recommended. Once you've got in and up the top, I recommend you go back via Red Valley. It's a must to get with. The view there is completely epic. Incredibly beautiful. Look at the pictures I put on.
