    We went to Pallay Punchu and were surprised at how uncrowded it was. The walk is quieter than Vinicunca, but the scenery is unique. The agency complied with everything offered and the guide explained about the history of the place. We'd take another tour with them again.

  • The warmth and personalization of the service made us feel more like honored guests than mere tourists.

    Having opted for this private tour was undoubtedly the best decision of our entire trip. What makes the difference is not only exclusive access to places, but the ability to connect with the destination at a pace of their own, without the rush or noise of mass groups. From the first minute, you can see an attention to detail that transforms a simple guided tour into a chair of history and culture designed to suit our curiosities.

  • Excellent experience.

    I had doubts about the height, but I decided to do Pallay Punchu and I have no regrets. The walk is moderate, there are steep parts, but it can be done calmly. The guide gave us time to rest and take pictures. The landscape is different from other colorful mountains, quieter and more natural. Good organization by the agency.

    A dream for photography. Pallay Punchu has amazing textures and the best thing is that there are no crowds. Super comfortable transport and very prudent driver when cornering. The home-cooked food was delicious, tasted like glory. The team was very motivating with height!

    For photography lovers, Pallay Punchu is a dream come true. The textures of the hills are amazing and there are not so many people getting in the way of shots. The service was impeccable from start to finish; the transport was very comfortable and the driver handled very prudently at all times. The food was one of the high points, a delicious homemade lunch that tasted like glory. The team that guided us was very friendly and motivating, always making sure we were well hydrated and comfortable with the pace of the walk.

    We were looking for something different and Pallay Punchu got over everything. Since we were picked up, the transport was very comfortable and safe, allowing us to arrive rested at the beginning of the trekking. The food deserves a separate mention: lunch was one of the best I have tasted on tours. The team is exceptional, always checking how we felt about oxygen and height. It is the perfect alternative to the Mountain of Colors if you are looking for something calmer and well organized

    To reach the top of Pallay Punchu and see that contrast of red and ochre colors in front of the blue of the lagoon is something I will never forget. It is a magical and very authentic experience. The transport was first class, a very comfortable van where we could rest well while the driver drove very prudently. The food surprised us pleasantly; breakfast gave us a lot of energy and lunch was comforting and very tasty. The team was by our side every step, making sure we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. Do not hesitate to choose this route

    I still can't believe Pallay Punchu's view. Those rock formations that look like sharp colored knives are something you don't see anywhere else. The best thing was that there weren't the crowds of other tours, so we enjoyed the absolute silence. The logistics to get there were impeccable: the transport was super modern and the driver drove with a calmness that allowed you to see the landscape without scares. The food left me speechless, a hot and delicious lunch that brought us back to life after the walk. The team was wonderful with us!
