After a 10 day Traveling adventure with a group through another traveling group, my friend and I opted for a private tour of Rainbow Mountain! Unfortunately it snowed on the day we reserved our tour; however it was one of our most enjoyable days due to the kindness of our guide Richard. He was very informative regarding the history and culture of the area and people. We were able to see some beautiful sites on the way to and home. We met some local folks, stopped by a lovely place to eat Los Cabanas and have coffee. The food was awesome!! Richard took some beautiful photos and was patient with us when we wanted to stop to view some sights/alpacas!! The time with Cusco Holiday Peru Servicios Turisticos was one of our most favorite and memorable!! Thanks for such a wonderful time and adventure!!

I wish I could be writing a review on the tour itself, but it never happened. I received email confirmation from TripAdvisor that the tour would happen and that my pick-up time was from 6:30-7:30 AM. I waited until 7:55. I emailed them and sent them a message via WhatsApp. No communication. I expect a full refund.

Laguna Los Patos. After almost 20 years in Chile, I am not excited about the Valle Central but this changed my mind! The best hike I have ever taken with my kids. Instead of a complain-fest, I had kids that were excited to reach the lake at the top of the hill. My son who had spent the pandemic without much exercise and was a bit embarrassed that he was tired was completely distracted and supported. The drive up was one lane at times with a steep drop off so was glad not to be driving. The cocktail post hike was amazing. Altogether outstanding! All sanitary precautions were taken..
