Although the walk to Palcoyo, also known as the alternative Rainbow Mountain, was relatively easy and moderate, the high altitude of 4900m caused my husband to feel short of breath. Jesús made a concerted effort to ensure his well-being while also keeping an eye on the rest of the group. Compared to Vinicunca, Palcoyo was noticeably less crowded, and it offered breathtaking views of three rainbow mountains, the red valley, and the stone forest.

“I booked this tour at practically the last possible minute (dinnertime before our sunrise Machu Picchu tickets) because the hotel I was staying at spooked me by telling me we needed a guide to get in. That's not true, but my decision was our gain: Noe was a tremendous guide who made an already unbelievable experience even better. His knowledge of the ruins and the Inca (he's been doing this for more than a decade), and his love for his country and people, really helped bring it to life. What's more, he was easygoing, down to earth, relatable, and a great companion. I can't emphasize enough that we were fortunate…”
