Breathtaking Views! - Rainbow mountain was an unforgettable experience! We did not do the whole hike, we took horse up part of the way. This was also an incredible experience. The views up top are breathtakingly beautiful! Many llama picture opportunities when you reach the top as well. Would highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful colors - Breakfast was great and we came back for lunch after our trek. Rainbow mountain was beautiful, we hiked it. But you can ride horse or quads . Line up for the photo was a bit annoying but it’s what you have to do.

Rainbow Mountain - I always enjoyed hiking but that was hiking on steroids!! I had the opportunity to either hike, use a motorcycle or horseback to the top. I wanted the full walking experience as the Incas would do so I walked. I went all the way to the top and felt it was quite an accomplishment considering the elevation and 40 percent less oxygen at that height. Machu Picchu was my main event in Peru but this surprised me so much that it ended being my second favorite adventure.

Best tour guide joel - It was an incredible experience at Rainbow Mountain with expert adventure guides and great photographers, and they helped us get horses to reach Rainbow Mountain at over 5,000 meters above sea level.

Disappointing Activity - Details of trip did not meet expectations. Van ride was long & cramped. No Wi-Fi on board. Food stops were terrible. Hiking was hard and we were on our own. No oxygen provided. Bring your own water.
