Amazing tour! - The place is different from anything we had seen before. It made wonderful photos! Furthermore, the guide (Jimmy) was super attentive to everyone. He took care of the entire group without forgetting anyone. He explained the history of the place and the fight for the preservation of Inca traditions by the locals (which added more charm to the tour). Furthermore, breakfast and lunch were delicious. I highly recommend the tour. I hope you are lucky enough to find this wonderful guide!

It was amazing! - It was amazing! we started 5am, we had a good buffet breackfast, then we started a long walk, at first it was calm and then it was hard. When we got to the lagoon, it was beautiful, the view was spectacular. It was worth the tour. Upon returning we had a very delicious buffet lunch. The guide was friendly and happy, I really liked the trip. The weather was favorable because it was a bit sunny, when we got to the area around the lagoon it started to rain a little but it was nice, we were wearing jackets. they gave us trekking poles and that helped us a lot with the walk I recommend it!

Good tour - The guide was very nice. The breakfast and lunch were good. The walking sticks could have been better, they were just wooden broomsticks. The driver and punctuality were ok.

excelent trail ausangate and rain bow mountain - We did the Ausangate Trek of 3days and 2 nights with rain bow mountain, with Manu Green planet, and we would like to thank and recommend them for their excellent service, seriousness, punctuality, quality of service, excellent guides, strong porters and fabulous, expert cook. This hike is a bit more challenging than most others in the region due to the altitude. Don't underestimate this and make sure you acclimatize before you start. We really enjoyed having a very professional guide, he showed us some places that were not on the official trail and it was very nice to have proper food cooked for us 3 times a day and to have horses carrying our gear (tent and sleeping bags for these cold). The landscape is really beautiful and it is an experience that I will never forget.!

Pride Month at Rainbow Mountain - Being woken up 15 minutes before our alarm since guide wanted to pick us up 30 minutes before 5 am scheduled start. After that everything was 5 star. Hiking is from 13800 to 15400 so be prepared to go slow or ride the horse. Crowds were huge but it was Pride Month at Rainbow Mountain.

Good hike but some difficulties - The hike was tiring but rewarding. Beautiful views. Took us about 3 hours roundtrip. Wear many layers. Our guide was friendly, not great English. The breakfast and lunch were okay, at the same restaurant. No toilet paper in the restroom. The roads were bumpy and the ride was uncomfortable. Our van broke down on the way back and we had to hop on another group’s van. They dropped us off at the town center rather than our hotel, so we had to walk back 12 min.

Rainbow mountain tour - Good price- enjoyed the breakfast and lunch, the tour guide only spoke Spanish and didn’t explain everything to us in English which was a let down. Only spoke minimal English to us didn’t make much of an effort to pass on information to us English speaking customers we had to ask for instructions because we didn’t know what to do.
