David is a gem! - David was absolutely incredible! His boundless energy and infectious positivity were truly remarkable. He kept me motivated and encouraged throughout the hike, and just when I was feeling discouraged by the long lines, he managed to capture amazing pictures. The tour was very well organized. Note: the trip begins early and includes a somewhat lengthy road trip, so prepare accordingly.

An experience if a lifetime - My tour guide David was amazing. I had a really hard time with the altitude and he was there the whole time encouraging me while offering me coca leaves, candies and tea as well as some scents to get me up to the summit. Our driver was great as well. He drove with safety in mind.. he was not rushing , drove within the speed limit and pass other vehicles in a safe way. I can’t stand drivers who show off and he definitely 💯 drives with safety in mind.

Fabulous Hike to Vinicunca Montana to view Rainbow Mountain. - Early Pick Up was prompt and met by our Tour Guide Oscar, we then hopped aboard the minibus for the drive to where the hike begun ( Very Skilled Driver on some Rough Roads ). Meals were great on route there and back too. The Climb up was tough going but was helped with regular stops to catch your breath, but once at the Top, Rainbow Mountain was a Spectacular Sight. Oscar assisted throughout with his quality guidance and some brilliant photography of my Partner & I. Was a tiring day but well worth the Early Start and thoroughly recommend this tour group that provide a wonderful experience. Thanks Kantu Peru Tours , Martin & Lidia 😊
