Breathtaking, in more ways than one! - The most spiritual experience I had in Peru was at this mountain. The altitude brought me visions and I could feel the energy of this place so strongly. I resonated with the Incas and their beliefs and felt very connected. Our private tour was intimate and our guide was very knowledgeable. I will return to this place again.

Rainbow mountain - Booked our trip on visitor to visit rainbow mountain, which is a must see experience if you’re visiting Peru. Our driver picked us up at our hotel is Cusco and we headed out for the 3 hour drive to the mountain. I have to really complement the driving, because the last 30 minutes of the ride, the only road up the mountain is unpaved and runs along the mountain side. Our driver navigated the roads without issue and I was happy to have him driving. Once there, our guide Richard explained we had the option of renting a horse or hiking the trail to the base of the mountain. My fiancé took the horse and I chose to walk (30 min by horse and 1hr-2hr walking depending on your endurance). Once at the mountain, Richard had walking poles ready for us and took photos for us. My fiancé had an issue with the altitude and Richard even had an oxygen tank to help her. I would definitely use this company again and would recommend them to anyone looking to book.
