5.00I highly recommend Romel Lamamani as a guide for Rainbow Mountain. When I suffered from altitude sickness and couldn’t function, he acted with great professionalism and care — checked my vital signs, provided oxygen, and made sure I was constantly looked after. In addition, during the long drive he shared a lot of knowledge and created a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere. A responsible, kind, and very professional guide.

5.00Fantastic walk. We got sun rain and snow in the about 3 hours we spent there. Amazing experience. Excellent guide and very cordial. He knows a lot about the country and the region and gave us all his extensive knowledge. Following a personal experience: it took about 15 minutes to get to the top of the mountain (5000 meters above sea level), I went badly and turned off for a few seconds and the guide Cristian came to help me very quickly. I think in less than 30 seconds, I'll calculate. He helped me, gave me even more guidance and went on to join the group again. A special thanks to the guide Cristian who even sent me a message at the end of the day asking how I was feeling.
