Magical scenery. Long day at high altitude - A long day from Cusco but absolutely worth it. Very high altitude and so hard work but absolutely worth it. The Magic Mountain views at the end even better than the publicity…

It's worth it - This hiking is exclusive of a few agencies, as the majority travel the other side of the mountain which takes almost 2 hours of walking. It is worth walking less and arriving earlier, before the crowd of tourists and enjoying the empty mountain. The guide was very explaining and gave us enough time to take advantage of the place. The Enterprise was super punctual and offered very good breakfast and lunch.

Great experience - After a long bus tour, you arrive at a "smaller" hike in about 30-45 minutes up to Rainbow Mountain itself. One really should not underestimate how hard it is to wander in those air heights. I'm in pretty good shape and was pretty pressured. Refused to take one of the horses that could help one up to the top, but I fought through and it was simply a fantastic experience to reach the top. Beautiful. You just have to remember that it's hard to walk in those heights, and you just have to include in which tour you choose - I probably didn't make a longer hike than this, then I didn't make it - and I didn't get to The Red Mountains, which you could have gone on to - my physics didn't do it at all.

Amazing! Must See! - Rainbow mountain was STUNNING! It even snowed a little on our way back to the car - what a beautiful sight!

If 17,000 ft doesn't take you breath away the view of rainbow mountain will! - Awesome trip with jaw dropping scenery. While the trip is challenging due to the elevation the option to ride a horse part way and back down for my girlfriend made it enjoyable for both of us.

Rainbow Mountain. - The perfect trip, to the Rainbow Mountain where we had the best of days to know how beautiful this mountain is, and see all its colors firmly, with a very sunny day and get the best photographs to remember. I recommend it.

Full of snow - The very well-kept, on-time tour, very good breakfast and lunch, should include a soft drink at lunch. I rented CRESPIN, a horse was 45 minutes away, climbing to the top requires a good physical condition. The day I went there you couldn't see the colors, but it was Covered in snow and it was majestic.
