Amazing 10/10 recommend!!!
Super excursion Le guide a laissé du temps pour chaque excursion ce qui était super Une aventure incroyable Un paysage d une beauté incroyable
Der Regenbogenberg ist wunderschön. Die Wanderung hätte nach meinem Geschmack etwas länger sein können. Viele haben aber auch Pferde oder Motorräder gemietet, um die Wanderung zu vermeiden. Das Essen war gut und unser Guide Angel war einer der besten Guides, die ich insgesamt auf verschiedenen Touren in Peru hatte
Le tour était très sympathique, le guide Jonathan est bien. En revanche, le transport pour y aller était catastrophique et mouvementé. Attention aux mal des montagnes, plus de 5000 m d’altitude. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la vallée rouge.
Muy linda la experiencia. Tanto el chófer como el guía siempre atentos y cuidando de los pasajeros
O Juanito foi super atencioso e animado durante todo o passeio. A Inka Altitude da todo suporte necessário durante o passeio, a parada para café e almoço é aconchegante e a comida é deliciosa, amei tudo!!! Como disse o Juanito “Brasileiros não desistem nunca!” 🇧🇷
ok
早朝の出発でしたがバスで寝られましたし、朝食とお昼ご飯がついているのでとても良かったです。レインボーマウンテン自体はとてもハードでしたが、ガイドの方がみんなのところに行ったり待っててくれたりして様子を見てくれて安心しました。高山病に効くオイルをくれたり、ステッキもあり助かりました。レッドバレーもレインボーマウンテンの時点でへこたれそうでしたがせっかくだから頑張っていくことにしました。行ってよかったです。辛いと思うけどゆっくりでいいよ、嫌な思い出にしてほしくないとガイドの方が何度も言ってくれてて(みんなに)それにも助けられました。ありがとうございました。
