  • Best of the Andes: Rainbow Mountain to Aconcagua reviewer 2
    · February 21st, 2024
    We had a terrible experience on the Best of the Andes tour: Ausangate to Aconcagua. During our Peru tour, we faced several issues that impacted our experience negatively. The tour operator did not deliver what was advertised on Tourradar. Instead of gradually ascending and preparing ourselves for the high altitude by hiking, we spent most of our time driving and staying in hotels or local accommodations. The tour provider appeared disorganised, and accommodations changed frequently to cheaper options. Additionally, our flight ticket was booked at the last minute with an amateur misspelling of our names, which we had to explain at every airport check. The tour was not operated safely, especially in Peru, where no other climbers were present on the mountain during the rainy season. Our fellow traveller had no prior experience in high altitudes, and the tour rushed him to the summit day, putting his and our lives in danger. The climbing season for Aconcagua is from November to February, which is the rainy season in Peru and climbing to any summit in the Ausangate region requires more safety measures. However, the tour operator dismissed our safety concerns immediately and the tour responses did not reflect our experience and feedback from the tour guides. Overall, we spent approximately AUD 15000 on the tour, but we did not enjoy the experience. Instead, we constantly worried about the next stage plan and the safety of ourselves and our younger companion. We do not recommend this tour to anyone and hope that Tourradar takes appropriate action to prevent others from going through a similar experience.
