I did the Rainbow Mountain tour with Edgar and it was amazing! He is a great guide with a lot of information to share and super nice! The tour starts early which is great, because you will reach the mountains before all the others do and it was an amazing experience! The food we got was also really good. Thank you.
This Rainbow Mountain tour is well organized, leaving no room for disappointment. The agency's impeccable professionalism is truly commendable.
Contemplating the majestic peak of the mountain was an unparalleled and awe-inspiring experience. It was as if the beauty entered through our eyes and touched our very souls. This is an experience that should not be missed under any circumstances. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Visiting Rainbow Mountain in Cusco was surreal! The demanding hike left me breathless, but the vibrant colors spread out before my eyes were simply breathtaking. It felt like walking on a nature painted canvas.
This was an incredible adventure that I would gladly repeat. I embarked on this journey with my best friend, and we were absolutely captivated by the stunning landscapes we encountered.
I had an absolutely fantastic tour filled with breathtaking views and an incredible group atmosphere. Our guide, Alejandro, played a crucial role in making the experience truly memorable. He provided unwavering support throughout the entire journey and made us feel incredibly comfortable during our stops.
Visiting this mountain at nearly 5,300 meters above sea level is undeniably challenging, requiring both physical and psychological preparation as the altitude makes a significant impact. I recommend acclimatizing for at least two days before embarking on this experience. It's a stunning and rewarding destination that trekking lovers will truly relish.
The journey was a bit challenging, the moment we arrived, I was absolutely captivated by the breathtaking view of the clear, snow-covered peaks. We were fortunate that the weather allowed us to fully appreciate the beauty surrounding us. A special thanks goes to José, our dedicated driver, for taking such good care of us throughout the trip. Additionally, our star guide Alejandro deserves immense gratitude for constantly being attentive to our needs.
The early start was truly worth it, and we were pleasantly surprised to find a delicious hot breakfast included in the cost along the way. To top it off, the day tour included a delectable hot buffet lunch, adding tremendous value to the overall experience. It was an exceptional deal and a truly unforgettable adventure.
We had an absolutely incredible experience exploring Rainbow Mountain. Throughout the tour. The guide "Fredy" was exceptionally knowledgeable and skillfully prepared us for the increasing elevation as we ascended. I must particularly commend Fredy for his expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine care for the group made the trip truly exceptional. The meals provided in tour, the breakfast and lunch, were delightful and offered a fantastic variety of options. I am already looking forward to returning with my family to share this remarkable experience.
Rainbow mountain was my favorite activity we did in Cusco and this tour was well run and a great value.
