An incredible experience at the Mountain of 7 Colors! We were lucky to have Eduardo as a guide and it could not have been better. From the first minute you can tell that he knows a lot and that he is passionate about what he does. What impressed me most was his ability to immediately identify each person in the group; he was super attentive to all of us at all times, adapting to everyone's pace. In addition, he explained super interesting facts and stories to us that go far beyond the typical visit and that he was under no obligation to tell. It is greatly appreciated to find such prepared and attentive professionals. 100% recommended!
Eduardo was our guide and Renato the driver. Eduardo was kind, knowledgeable and considerate. Renato was an excellent driver, resourceful and helpful. Highly recommend this tour.
First time doing the rainbow mountain tour and it was amazing! The hike was challenging due to being at 16,400 ft above sea level but nonetheless it was worth it. Everything went smoothly thanks to our guide Eduardo, he was attentive to everyone’s needs and was very helpful. Would recommend booking this tour with Eduardo!
Incredible experience, a magical place and our guide Eduardo, besides having great knowledge of the place, was always concerned about our safety, well-being and enjoyment
Very nice experience for this excursion to the multi colored mountains and red valley. Our guide Jhojhan, was very professional and helpful. We also had a very good driver. Everything has been double checked the day before. I recommend
Eduardo guided our Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley trek with Inka Altitude, and he was fantastic. The hike up to 5,200m is no joke, especially with the altitude, but Eduardo kept a great pace for the group, checked in on everyone regularly, and was endlessly patient and encouraging when things got tough. He clearly knows the mountain and the route really well, and made sure we all felt safe the whole way up and down. His energy and good humour made a genuinely hard day so much more enjoyable. Of everything I did in Cusco, this was the standout day, and a big part of that comes down to Eduardo. Can’t recommend him and Inka Altitude highly enough.
Had such a Good Time with Eduardo for this visit at the rainbow mountain!! Bring sunglasses, gloves, k-way and enjoy the view 🤩. Also ibuprofene the altitude can affect you
Had another incredible experience with Inka Altitude, this time visiting Vinicunca. Everything was flawlessly organized from start to finish. The early wake-up call and high altitude make it a challenging and tiring day, but reaching the top makes every step worth it. Those who wanted to could also visit the Red Valley nearby (for extra 30 Soles/person). Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, keeping us motivated and sharing great insights. Highly recommend booking your day trips with them!
We were a group of 9. We did 3 day trips with this company, including the Rainbow Mountains and the 7 Lakes. Simply flawless. Punctuality even at 4 a.m. It's nice to arrive before the crowds of tourists. Clear instructions, well-balanced historical information, comfortable Mercedes vehicle. The local meals were satisfactory. Edouardo our guide is passionate, kind, experienced, and friendly. Thank you (Papa Sherpa!)
Our guide Imer was amazing. He stayed behind with me making me feel very safe and comfortable. He didn’t push and went on my time.
