Rainbow Mtn with guide Alejandro

Overall this was an excellent trip. The driver was calm and safe which is always a great start. Freddie the chef treated us with a fabulous breakfast and lunch just before rainbow mountain. The table was set like a fancy restaurant even had a vase with real red roses ! Alejandro was our guide, a really kind and decent young man. He has excellent knowledge of the the rainbow mountain and red valley area. The trail is around 5000m altitude and can take a bit of effort, Alejandro keeps the mood light and relaxed. Our group had a mixture of some fast walkers and some slower ones. He allowed the faster ones to do extra side trips so they didn't feel restricted. There was no time pressure or rush for the tour to meet a schedule, we were allowed as much time as we all wanted to experience the region. Alejandro coordinated and managed this very professionally. Like so many TreXperience guides he will tell you where to take the best photo; often suggesting a pose and he will even jump into the shot if you want. His English is also excellent. No hesitation recommending this trip and especially Alejandro.

Wonderful experience.

It was an incredible experience, our guide Romario was very attentive and kind and gave us the necessary time to enjoy and take photos. The only thing that displeased me a little was that the driver, Mr. Julio, got upset because of "us being late" and drove very fast, which made me nervous.

Awesome, excellent, recommended experience!

We went with Romario, he was an excellent guide, very patient and the experience was awesome! We took our time, we walked slowly and we never rushed which is exactly what we wanted. Also the ride on the bus was smooth and quick, Julio is such an excellent driver. Finally, the meals cooked by Ismael were delicious and tasty. Such a great and fulfilling experience!
