A small camera tripod helps if you want photos without strangers in them. - Being there in the late afternoon made the place feel almost magical. I could hear the wind and distant streams. The colors of the mountain were richer, and I felt like I could spend hours just sitting there.

Best - The afternoon excursion was simply spectacular. Seeing the rainbow mountain with fewer people was a privilege. The guide was attentive and very professional

Escursione a Rainbow Mountains e Red Valley - I participated in the excursion with at the Rainbow Mountains and the Red Valley with Andina Expeditions. The pickup was punctual before dawn in order to arrive at the destination before the hordes of tourists. Frank, the driver, was very attentive to driving both on the road and up the mountain. The guide with whom I did the hike, Carlos, was exceptional, provided various information about the whole mountainous area and answered every question. During the climb he was always interested in how I was doing and occasionally giving me some Florida Aqua to help me with my breathing. I recommend relying on Andina Expeditions for this excursion, specifically I recommend Frank and Carlos.

Best tour guides I think I've ever had - I have travelled a lot and never had such an awesome day out. Our guide, Anibal, and driver, Ronny, were exceptional. We made it to rainbow mountain which was a truly incredible place. Anibal had great energy, spoke perfect english, and helped me with some Spanish I'd been struggling on. Ronny's driving was super smooth, and kept us feeling comfortable and safe the whole time. There were a few obstacles given the challenges in the region when we were visiting, but at no point were there any issues these guys couldn't figure out, nor at any point did we feel concerned by anything, despite a lot of other tour operators not running. When we got to rainbow mountain we were one of only a couple of cars, and only 10's of tourists. It was unbelievable. If you want to go to rainbow mountain I would 110% recommend booking with these guys. Sam
