This trip was amazing. The guide was very helpful, positive and educated on the history.

This tour was a great all day trip. Beware that you will reach over 16,000 ft in elevation, so the hiking was a bit hard and we needed to go very slow (we were not yet acclimated as we had only been in Cusco for 24 hours when we went on this excursion). It was well worth the effort. I enjoyed the gorgeous views all around-you can see the glacier, the red and green mountains, the rocky mountains side, and of course the rainbow mineral filled mountains all at once on this tour. Beautiful! Our guide was fantastic, called him Robinson.
