“This is a really good company that arranges the best timing for visiting the place! You really want to be early bc the weather can be changeable and unpredictable. We were early so we get to see the sunny side of the beautiful colours (late comers saw snow and wind and grey mountains :P). Our guides, Carlos and Dionel, had plenty of experience and were supportive, making the hike less challenging (it's important to have 2 guides as the altitude can be dangerous). The drive by Cesar was good, too. Rec!”
