    We had an amazing time hiking to Rainbow Mountain with our guide Nico; he was very patient and well informed about the area. The driver was great as well. Food and tickets were well organized; we did not have to stop as the other people did. We also arrived early to the view point, and we did not meet a lot of people, which was great to enjoy the tour as much as we could. 10/10 for these guys; it's worth it!

    We went to Ausangate Trek with these guys, it was 4 days hike through the mountains and end on the Rainbow mountain, Honestly Vidal Expeditions is a serious and reputable company, his owner Vidal with more than 10 years of experience as tour guide he knows very well about what you are looking for, he is very passionate with the mountains and conserving the nature. their people who is working with him are 100% local from different communities and they know very well how to work with costumers. Is nice to know this company look up to help the native people and thier families, I had chance to be part of an activity which was to bring clothes and student supplies to chindlen of small communities located away of Cusco, and Vidal organize it with his own money and some help from foreigners, we did this at the end of our hiking. It was such nice experience to share these things with the Kids, they were more than happy with these gifts. If you are booking some hiking tours with these guys don't forget to bring some gifts for the kids who are living along the route for sure you will enjoy it. The Ausangate trek itself is hard but with all the views during the days you will have incredible experience, it worth the effort and the money you spend on it. Life is now to travel around the world and discover amazing places, meet incredible people and enjoy each day of your life, money, objects and jobs you can find everywhere but not the experience you want to live.
