Samuelito a 100% success - The tour was wonderful, Samuelito guided us and accompanied us at our rhythms (due to the height) to the Vinicunca mountain and the red valley, where we rested admiring the landscape while he explained the history of the mountains. A wonderful experience, a unique way to enjoy the nature of the area and Samuelito an exceptional guide! Thank you very much for this day!!

Immerse yourself in exceptional nature with a fantastic guide - Fantastic experience, seeing both Vinicunca and the Rojo valley on the same tour is a notable plus.
Getting to the top of Vinicunca is spectacular, but stopping there is a shame because the nearby red valley is equally fantastic.
The guide Samuel was exceptional in guiding and assisting us during the walk, as well as following less traveled paths and telling us all about these amazing mountains.
