Good refund policy - After having bad food poisoning, this company showed a very solid refund policy, only keeping the funds they had already committed to the expedition themselves. Very good.

Brilliant high altitude experience - Having completed a couple of other hikes around the 5000m mark elsewhere in the world my partner and i were keen to do a quick expedition to get above that level while in Peru and it was perfect to do it with Vidal Expeditions. The guides (Urbano & Vini) were super friendly and made sure we got up… and down… safely as well as having a great time. Felix our chef produced some great meals and everything went very smoothly! Only thing to be aware of - the hike and climb are hard and a little bit technical! While the guides were great at helping you with the harder sections you should be aware you’ll be doing some proper climbing and need to be confident you can handle it! Similarly - this is high altitude stuff and it is COLD, make sure you have the right gear (or can borrow it from VE) to ensure your enjoyment. Also, given the weather etc perhaps consider allowing some flexibility in your schedule so the trip can be timed to fit both weather windows and guide availability. All round probably our favorite trip from Cusco and amazing that it can be squeezed into two hard days and one night ! Thanks again - chris & livi

Great company! - Really nice experience. I was in Cusco for 6 weeks and this was my favorite tour that I did! The guides were very experienced and made me feel safe! The food was also really good and they made us a cake when we got back from the summit!! Such a fun adventure if you are looking to try mountaineering for the first time.

Awesome Adventure - We did the Qampa Climbing Tour and extended it to 3-days in total. It was an amazing adventure. The views were magnificent. The organization was perfect and everything on-time. Our guide Hector was great, explained us a lot of things and took care of our health condition. And the served food was very good. Remark: The 5.520m summit ascent was challenging and requires some degree of fitness, also given the altitude. To sum up: Definitely recommend it to everyone seeking their Peruvian mountain adventure!

Jampa Mountain climb - Excellent service, really professional and friendly. I really enjoyed the climbing with the crew of Vidal Expeditions. Flavio our mountain guide was incredible leading inexperienced people to the summit of Qampa mountain 5,520 meters. This was our first ascents over this altitude and we did not have lot of experience. However Flavio made the best job ever to got the summit even we were really slow on the last part. Vidal Expeditions team were awesome, very helpful and happy to share things with us, Miguel our cook was excellent always providing 3 dishe on each meal. Angel and Mario were nice too taking care all our luggages. We really appreciate what they did for us on these two day climbing. I definitely recommend Vidal Expeditions and Flavio.

Fantastic Days - Qampa climb!! We had 2 incredible days hiking and climbing Qampa mountain around the Ausangate, we were only 2 people who decide to climb this mountain with 5,520m and took the service of Vidal Expeditions. They were great answering our emails and Vidal the owner provide us every details of this trip, our mountain guide was Urbano (Aka Chino) who made even better this two days trip, we hike and visited the 7 lakes on the first day, and he took incredible photos. The second day we woke up super early in order to reach the summit early morning to see the sunrise, after a few hours hike and climb we finally got the summit and got incredible views. Whole team were great for this adventure and I definitely recomment this climb for everyone who wants to experience climbing a mountain over 5,500m. and ask for Chino then you will thanks me later.

Qampa Climbing with VE - We have climbed the Qampa mountain in Ausangate, we were only two people in the excursion and had 5 workers with us, (1 tour guide, 1 chef, 2 horse drivers and 1 chef assitant) they made great job in this 2 days trip. Our guide Vinerson was a native guy from the Andes who climbed a several times this Qampa mountain, the first day was nice because we visited the seven lakes. Thar was great and happy this is included in our tour. Incredible turquoise lakes with Ausangate mountain in the background made outstanding this trip. We hike for 5 hours exploring this such a nice place and Vinerson guided us to each of these even we had chance to see more lakes around our campsite. The second day was the most challenging of this trip because we have to woke up super early in order to reach the Qampa summit for the sunrise, have a breakfast and we have begun the walk to reach the moraine and start hiking on the glacier and fanlly climb the mountain to get the summit. They organized very well this trip, good climbing gears, camping equipment, meals was great, and the team were very professional. We definitely recommend VE and Vinerson for this climb. They will make sure you get the summit and have unforgettable experience.

Qampa Climbing experience - We were two friends who decided to try Qampa summit. After searching on the google we found Vidal Expeditions and contacted them to see if we could go for this mountain. However they were kind of friendly helping us to organize our climbing tour. It was raining season so no way to reach the summit. Our guide was Chino a very professional man from the Peruvian Andes who was really enthusiastic about the weather and he motivated us to climb the next weekend. So we decided to book a tour tour for that dates. They prepared everything for us(Food, camping gears, team and entire transportation) we just took our bags and necessary equipment and began our adventure. The first day was a long drive about 3 hours until Pacchanta village where we start our hike for 2 hours until our lunch spot located on side of the lake, after explored this nice places we kept hiking to our base camp over 4680m. Our guide Chino provide us the instructions for the climbing after a short rest he took us to see a lake with brown color located a few minutos of hike from our campsite. Day 2, woke up super early 3:00am we have wonderful breakfast made by our cook Angel who is from this surrounded areas. And about 4:00am we left our campsite and hike to Qampa mountain, 1 hour hike we arrive to the moraine where we wear our climbing gears(crampons, rope, harness, helmet, carabiners, etc.) Chino prepared us very well for this experience. Then we climb on the snow for another hour to reach the summit 5.520m where we had an extraordinary view of the sunrise we did not expect to have this awesome view because we were on the rain season. However it was the best moment of my life to see such amazing views. Chino was right when he told us if we have positive mind everything will be fine even we could have nice weather, and that was true even with the difficulty to reach the summit we were super motivated what Chino told us with and we didn’t give us, and the price was this incredible view. We had enough time to enjoy our box lunch at the summit and descend to our campsite then have lunch and hike back to Pacchanta where we enjoy the hot spring to finally return to Cusco. Honestly is was my best experience in my whole life climbing for a first time a mountain over 5.520m. And Chino made incredible job to motivated us about it. If you are thinking to try any mountain in Cusco as your first time look for Chino and Vidal Expeditions they will organize everything for sure and believe me they have the enough experience to put your life in their hands. Thank you Chino and Vidal Expeditions I am sure u will return to Cusco to climb the Apu Ausangate.

Qampa Mountain Climb - Just returned from climbing Qampa mountain with Julian, who made a great job...We had all included in the package, it means transport, all meals (breakfast on the first day you need to pay by your own) The guide Vinersson was really friendly and knowledgeable, thanks to him we got the summit early morning to enjoy the sunrise, the coca tea at the peak help u to feel better once we got 5520 meters. It is good option to be away of the crowd and Vidal Expeditions do the right to preserve the environment with they proyect "Ausangate not trash" and very helpful for our earth. Good quality climbing gears and professional team.

Qampa & Machu Picchu Adventures - I have been enjoying the adventures with Vidal Expeditions, I just finished a climbing tour around Ausangate mountain in Cusco, my guide was Chino who was very professional since beginning to the end. It was an adventure trip with my wife and me who decided to climb Qampa mountain after our trek to Machu Picchu by the Inca Trail, Our adventure began since I contacted to Vidal and they organized every details of this journey to Peru, since the pick up from the airport in Lima, transfer to our hotel, flight to Cusco, acclimatizations stay there for our Inca Trail, Vidal team was tailored perfectly to our travel desires, Our guide was Jhonatan who was exceptional along the trek, the porters, chef and whole team were incredible doing a hard job for us, I really appreciate everything from them. Machu Picchu at the end of of hike was phenomenal. The things we like most about Vidal Excpeditions is that they can organize a local experience tailored to your needs, They support the local community and people directly, they work closely with local families to create trek through areas that are not permitted by other agencies. I highly recommend them for your adventure in Cusco and also recommend them for technical climbing as well, Specially to Jhonatan and Chino both are incredible tour and climbing guides.
