Tinqui

Bus Cuzco to Tinqui, trek to Upis (L/D)
Early this morning you will be picked up from your accommodation in Cuzco and we will travel to Tinqui by bus (3900m/12795ft) past beautiful landscapes and small family farms. After a picnic in Tinqui, we will start on foot towards the community of Upis (4400m/14436ft). Along the way, we will meet local families who will show us some examples of their textile work, created to honor nature with traditional Andean symbols. We will spend the night in camping Upis with the possibility to enjoy the local hot springs.

Day 3: Ausangate Lake - Jampa, Peru

Trek from Ausangate Lake through Palomani Pass to Jampa (B/L/D)
The 3rd day is both the most beautiful and the most arduous of the trek. We will first ascend towards the highest pass of this route, called the Palomani Pass (5200m/17060ft). From here, we will have an exceptional view of the mountains and glaciers of Ausangate before descending into the valley of Finaya Pampa.

Hiking time: 8 hours

Day 4: Jampa - Pacchanta, Peru

Location:

Pacchanta

Trek from Jampa through the Campa pass to Pacchanta (B/L/D)
The highlight of this day is definitely the spectacular ascent to the Campa Pass (5100m/16732ft). We will also pass several lovely lagoons on the way to our camping site in Pacchanta (4350m/14270ft). Here, we will visit the hot springs for some well-earned relaxation before a typical Peruvian dinner.

To this day, this is the best tour we've ever done together as a couple! The fun activities, great hotels and nice guides worth the money! We were always taken care of and they made sure that we had a good time. This tour is definitely worth taking.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
