Nuestro guía fue muy atento e ilustrativo acerca de la historia detrás de Vinicunca. Llegar a la cima y apreciar la montaña de los 7 colores hizo que valiera la pena todo el esfuerzo!

The place itself was majestic Spoiler: There’s no Rainbow but the mountain is still a beauty, the trek was challenging, consider always in taking a horse, it’s still worth it. And again don’t underestimate the trek.
As for the Travel Agency: Everything went well as planned, Brolli the guide was funny and informative, took good care of each and everyone of us. But, this is something worth mentioning, he made us “lie” that we’re Peruvians in order to save time and let us in into the place fast, he told us this beforehand, and when a guy asked us who’re Foreigners, I nevertheless raised my hand (which to his instruction were not supposed to), and he was like No, no, no and the checking guy just ignored (which maybe he’s aware of such things). My point is, I have much respect in countries or institutions that have COVID Precautions measures and this we have to abide, we really would just have to fill out a form which I believe wouldn’t even take 10mins, this is not to put him in a bad light because he did his job perfectly, it’s just reminding everyone that we are still in a Pandemic.
