LOVED IT - LOVED THIS! So cheap and yet so good. Long ride, great food, support during the hike. The group was quite big and it was very crowded, but nevertheless amazing!

I would strongly recommend it. - It was a great experience from beginning to end. Everything was well organized, and our guide (whose name I cannot remember) was excellent. He gave us full explanations and plenty of time to plan our own activities. We also enjoyed a traditional Peruvian lunch buffet, which was amazing. The experience felt very safe, and I would strongly recommend it.

Colored Mountain - Great tour to the colorful mountain with guide Hever, who turned everything into a great adventure. He recommended us the Red Valley, next to the colorful mountain, which passes unnoticed by many people, but is as beautiful as the mountain itself, and much less full.
