Breathtaking , in every sense! - Between the altitude and the view, my breath was taken away more than once. But reaching the top and seeing that colorful mountain was a moment I’ll never forget. The guide was kind and attentive, and the food stops were a nice bonus. If you're in Cusco, don’t miss this!

An epic day - Did the Rainbow Mountain tour with friends and it was epic! 🌈 We laughed, struggled, and finally reached the top together ,the view was jaw-dropping. The guide shared some cool Inca history along the way, and the photos we took look like something out of a fantasy world.

An amazing adventure - I didn’t think I could make it to the top, but the guide cheered us on every step. Once we arrived, I almost cried , the colors, the altitude, the silence. It’s more than just a mountain; it’s a spiritual experience. ❤️

If you’re in Cusco and looking for something epic to do - The tour was well-organized, we had breakfast at a small local place, and then headed out. The hike was hard, but they offer horses if you need help. The mountain view literally made me tear up. So beautiful.

An unforgettable day - The Rainbow Mountain really lives up to the hype. It’s a tough hike, especially early in the morning, but our group helped each other along the way, and it made the experience even more special. The guide even brought cocoa leaves to help with the altitude, lifesaver!

A fantastic tour - I had my doubts about waking up at 4 AM, but this tour made it absolutely worth it! The Rainbow Mountain was breathtaking , the colors were unreal, and the air up there felt so pure. Our guide was super supportive, especially when the altitude hit me a little. Don’t forget warm clothes, snacks, and lots of water!

A memorable moments - I went on this tour with my son. 👩‍👦 We took it slow, and the guide checked on everyone regularly. We made it to the top together and it was such a proud moment. The mountain is even more beautiful in real life!

A good tour and supportive guide - Be prepared , the hike is no joke. 😅 The altitude hits hard, even for fit hikers. But the guide was very supportive, and there were horses available if needed. The scenery is mind-blowing!
