Day Trip - Such an incredible area of Cusco, definitely you should not leave until you see the Rainbow Mountain. The hike itself was 1.5 hoursdue to extremely high elevation, certainly went a lot slower than normal. Had an option of taking a horse back till 75% of the way which most people did. Highly reccomend this tour.

Challenging but rewarding - We saw plenty of photos on social media and were eager to hike up the Rainbow Mountain. We found a good deal with Alexander , Travel Peru Best. The hike was somewhat challenging, although it is highly recommended to do this only once you are climatised in Cusco. Alexander is a wonderful guide and has extensive knowledge and was very friendly and helpful. The ffod they offered us was freshly prepared and was simply delicious. Felt safe, as Alexander carried bottly of oxygen shots to ensure that we did not have issue whilst hiking. Nice trip with a professional and good local tour company.
