100% recommend! Great trip!! - Everything is well organized and you get to spend a good amount of time on Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley. Highly recommend visiting both, as they are so close to each other and different beautiful landscapes. Also, a wonderful opportunity to be close to llamas and alpacas. We appreciate Samuel who was a wonderful tour guide and led us through both sites and offered to take a lot of pictures for us!

He was thoughtful and catered the tour and cadence to our needs including leaving plenty of time for pictures (helped us take a lot of them!) and answered questions well. Red valley and rainbow mountain are beautiful!! also, a great place to see the alpacas and llamas

Inka Time and Samuel our guide were spectacular. - Samuel our guide was amazing! He was patient with us as we struggled with the altitude. Every step of the way he made sure we had the best excursion possible. We are so thankful we had Samuel, otherwise it could have been a disaster.

Visit rainbow mountain and red valley - The visit with the guide Samuel was great! He lives the mountains and transmitted that passion to us. He helped us whenever we needed it, since the walk is a little demanding due to the height. Highly recommended!

An incredible experience - The excursion has been incredible!! The mountain of 7 colors is very beautiful, a little crowded but it is worth the climb. But what impressed us was the Red Valley, the views and explanations of our guide Samuel were exceptional. We couldn't have been luckier with him!!
