About
Journey through an undiscovered land of wild desert landscapes, snow capped peaks, herds of alpaca, and arrive at the ultimate destination – The “Rainbow Mountain” hidden deep in the Andes.
Throughout your journey you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain towering in the distance. You will experience first hand how locals live in the mountains and even have a chance to speak with them. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the coloured minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the “Rainbow Mountain”, and finally with one last push you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360 degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up this sacred land in Cusco – Perú.

- 312herbertw0 contributionsCuzco CityWalkAt the beginning of November I had with Hilda a great Cuzco CityWalk. She has a great knowledge about the Inca culture. In the "Temple of the Sun" she was able to support her knowledge with pictures of the original state!Written December 12, 2021
- millydelacruz0 contributionsAwe InspiringA very pleasant trip. The lake is very clean and offers a great sight. The water is freexing cold. We walked further up to a view point from where we got a panaromic view of the lagoon, if you can it is totally worth climbing a bit further up to see this. Hilda is very efficient guide and has a very good knowledge and tips on hike which helped us a lot.Written December 3, 2019
- nelsionricheardon0 contributionsMachu Picchu!!This was the best trip. Everything fuctioned like a clock and was very organised with no unpleasant surprises. The tour conductor was friendly and well informed person. Highly recommended.Written November 28, 2019
- Roldon M0 contributionsHumantay TripWe were very excited to see this lagoon. It is totally pristine. Although the hike up was somewhat challenging but was truly rewarding. On the way up, we took many stops and the guide was very accommodating and never rushed us. The lagoon is very nice and pristine. We also hiked further up to a view point from where we got a panoramic view of the lagoon. Highly recommend visiting Humantay.Written November 26, 2019
- natashatomm0 contributionsGreat tours for very good price!I have done 2 day-tours with them. It was really well organized and worth the price. They pick you up in the hotel and organize the full day, including (very delicious) typical Peruvian food. I have participated in the tour to the 7-colour mountain and to the Sacres Valley. I couldn't be happier!Written May 24, 2018
- Calvin S0 contributionsValencia Travel- Inca 4 Day HikeAmazing people, amazing scenery, and lots of stairs! This was a great 3.5 days of hiking in the Andes of Peru. Lots of Inca sites along the way and an amazing finish at Machu Picchu. Our guide Elistan through Valencia Travel did an amazing job taking our group through the rich history of the Inca civilization and got us all through safely.Written July 8, 2015

Everything was very nice... I met Hilda through a relative of mine. Since I met her, she seemed like a very intense and communicative person. There were some problems but she solved them all and everything was very nice for me and my family... It was a nice opportunity to know one of the wonders of the world. 💗

Um passeio lindo com paisagens belíssimas do início ao fim. A equipe da Agência é muito bem preparada aumentando a segurança durante o passeio, a subida requer calma é preciso respeitar os limites do corpo, mas o guia não nos deixou desanimar. O bom humor e condução da viagem também são diferenciais. Hilda é muito disponível para atender e fazer o melhor. Foi incrível!
