Cold, Tiring, and Completely Worth It - We were freezing at the beginning, tired during the hike, and starving by lunchtime—but somehow still had an amazing day! The views made every uncomfortable moment worth it. An experience we’ll remember for a long time.

Take your time and enjoy it 🥰 - My advice is not to rush the hike. The altitude can really affect you, even if you’re normally fit. We went slowly and enjoyed the scenery, and reaching the top felt like a real achievement.

Great combination - Doing Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley together was a good choice. Each place had a different feel, so the day didn’t feel repetitive. The lunch break was also perfectly timed after the morning activities.

A 5-star experience - Incredible morning views, great trail guidance, and a surprisingly rich buffet spread to regain energy after pushing through the altitude. 10/10 day trip!

Challenging but Worth It - The hike was tough due to the high altitude, but the views were incredible! The colors of Rainbow Mountain were unbelievable, and the Red Valley was even more stunning. Make sure to acclimate in Cusco before attempting this. The included lunch was a great way to end the adventure!
