Exciting! - It was an unparalleled experience from beginning to end! Starting with delicious breakfast in the middle of the Andes! The van gets very close to the track, so the walking time is quite short, although demanding due to the altitude and tilt, the climb does not take more than 50 minutes. During the climb our guide Nilto was very patient and attentive, waited when we needed to rest, gave us the hand to help go down the steepest parts, showed the best places for the photos and took lots of photos for us! I was quite excited because there were only us 3 on the mountain, just the noise of the wind and the lovely landscape!

The beautiful Pallay Poncho - Beautiful experience with the guide Alberto and the driver Alfredo! Pallay Poncho is an equally beautiful destination in the Rainbow Mountains, but little known so with very few tourists! Alberto was kind and helpful, very professional! Highly recommended
