Beautiful Rainbow Mountains - Elisvan and Alex took care of us during our amazing trip up to the top of the Rainbow Mountain. Elisvan was super knowledgeable and caring. Really took care of everyone on the trip including me. We also had an amazing lunch that was included.

Amazing experience! - This tour was exceptional from start to finish! Booking was seamless, transportation was punctual, and the small group size made it personal, with pickups conveniently near our hotel. The journey included a brief stop, breaking up the three-hour drive and showcasing stunning scenery. Our guide, John, and driver, Alex, were outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, ensuring a connection with every group. Be prepared: the mountain hike is strenuous, but John was accommodating, allowing plenty of breaks. The breathtaking views at the summit made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and John took fantastic photos while giving us ample time to soak it in. The descent was easier, followed by a delicious lunch at a clean, well-chosen restaurant, which nicely split the return trip. John encouraged questions and shared insightful information throughout. The later departure time was a bonus—no early wake-up, and the mountain was less crowded. I rate this tour a perfect 10/10!

Amazing experience - Very nice experience and beautiful views! Nayda was a very nice and joyful guide, shared interesting information and made a lot of jokes. The tour started at 8, so no need to wake up too early and it seemed to be the best way to beat the crowd, because everyone was leaving when we arrived.

Rainbow Mountain - Rainbow mountain is stunning but had a real difficult time with the altitude. Our tour guide, John was amazing, checking my pulse, oxygen level and providing oxygen. Was super attentive. It was also nice leaving at 8am and not have the big crowds when we got to the mountain. Thank you!

Amazing trip - Thanks to our excellent guide Elisvan and driver Alex our tour was one of the most memorable and enjoyable. The mini bus was very comfortable and driving was smooth. The guide was very friendly and informative. We were scared to go in the beginning because of high elevation but Elisvan was supportive and explained that he would give us oxygen if we needed. Also, the tour was well paced, so we never felt rushed. And finally, the lunch was delicious! Would recommend doing this tour after spending 2-3 days in Cusco or surrounding areas since you need to aclimate to the high elevation first.
