Not so...Rainbow Mountain - Upon arriving at rainbow mountain we realised there was heavy snowcover from the previous night, despite other friends having no snow for there tour only a few days before. Despite this we still had a great time, and our tour guide Waldir was heaps of fun. We had snowball fights om the way up and enjoyed the stunning 360 degree view at the top that looked over the red valley. By the time we were finished up, some of the snow had melted and we got to see some of the rainbow colours. Snow cover or not, I would reccommend this hike and our guide Waldir, he was extremely knowledgeable and lots of fun, thanks Waldir!!

Exciting and refreshing experience - I did this trip solo and I think this company prepared well. You basically don’t have to worry because the guides and drivers take care of everything. Waldir was our guide and he was insightful and extremely welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Peru and to support all the people involved in organising this as there is a lot of work put into the safety of the group and the overall enjoyment. Red valley was incredible to see and the hike is challenging but not very long and worth the heart palpitations.

Great day out - Really good day trip from cusco. The guide Waldir was really knowledgable and helpful. Although there was snow and lotsnof cloud the hike up was enjoyable and the views nonetheless beautiful. Definitely good value for money. Breakfast and lunch were both very good.

A climactic feat but a long road there - - [ ] Caesar was very knowledgeable, informing us of the history, geography and existence of rainbow mountains worldwide (including two others in Peru) and our driver navigated the treacherous trek expertly. And the team was very communicative ahead of time with all my questions. The entire experience felt seamless including the breakfast and lunch stops on the way there and back to fuel up for the journey ahead. The hike itself is short to the red mountain but the altitude impacts you quickly. There’s an option to take a horse most of the way up to the top but the view is worth it with rainbow mountain, clay mountains and snow peaked mountains visible in the same view. There’s a chance to hike up higher to the red valley with a short hike but incremental incline. The vibrant clay of the red valley with the red river in between is almost more stunning than the rainbow mountain itself and the trek down with the view of all the animals and varied terrain was a delightful sight returning to the buses. It’s a long journey for a couple sights but well worth the effort, if anything for the accomplishment of reaching the top at impressive heights. Definitely recommend Inka Altitude for tour next climb and be prepared for an early call time.

A Journey not to forget - The trip was excellent. The car is perfect. Waldir from Inka Altitude guided us perfectly. He was with us all of the time. We liked this because it made us feel save. He also explained to us many things. The driver John was also excellent.
