Excellent and nicely personalized - Chullos Travel Peru did an excellent job preparing us for the tour in advance and prompt in timing. Our guide was Edwin and he was very informative. We had some special circumstances that they accommodated for us. Palcoyo was spectatular and I’m glad we chose the shorter hike since the high altitude makes it tough and it was nice with fewer people to enjoy the experience. Edwin was fun to talk to especially during our pauses along the trail. We had a great experience and I highly recommend.

Second booking with this travel company - This is my second booking with Chullos Travel Peru. I did not expect the tour guide to be the same as my lake humantay booking. What I liked about the tour guide (Nilton) was that he was great at communicating a day before the tour with information on what to expect and what to bring. The driver (Alfredo) was friendly and drove us safely to our destination. Would recommend this company to my family or friends.

Colored Mountain just for you - Freaking awesome day!
The views from Palcoyo are breathtaking and the rock-forest section is awesome. The trail is somewhat circular and it is not so much crowded, so the mountain is all yours!
This was a great day, since this was one of our last activities in Perú, we were little bit tired of 4AM-one-hour-long pickups so we decided to so private tour and it was GREAT!
Our guide, Sexi José, made everything happen so smooth and fun that we did not want the day to end. I cannot imagine the tour without him.
Thanks again - this was a great day.

Palcoyo enjoyed himself! The amazing food and the path with patience - It was amazing, both the way and the food at lunch and breakfast, delicious and very varied.
Guide José super top, waiting for us when the climbing road became heavy given the height.
It is worth enjoying with this agency that goes at your own pace and worries about any ailment that may arise.
Very good recommendations to continue making the most of the trip

Totally recommended! - We decided on Palcoyo because of the number of people who visit Vinicunca, and we were totally right! Not only because of that but the landscape is truly incredible. Thanks to our guide Jose who made us have a great day. See you soon sexy llamas!

Polcoyo tour from Cusco - Our visit to Palcoyo with our tour guide Wally was amazing! Wally made sure our family had the best trip. We had a great breakfast and lunch. Stopped to see the alpacas. Learned so much about the culture of the people and so much about the land. We enjoyed a special time at the top of the rock forest. Truly an amazing experience with Super Wally!!! Thank you:)

Trip to Palcoyo with Wally - Great trip with Wally. The scenery was beautiful. Wally was great at explaining and answering all our question. Was also a great photographer for our family. The views and scenery were awesome. Pictures can’t capture the beauty.
