Our trip to Rainbow... - Our trip to Rainbow Mountain with MC Peru Expeditions was a wonderful experience. The team communicated clearly in advance about the itinerary and pickup details, making the tour smooth and well organized. Our tour guide, Mr. Hilton, took excellent care of our group throughout the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided helpful information about Rainbow Mountain and the surrounding area, ensuring everyone had an enjoyable experience. The buffet breakfast and lunch arranged at the hotel were very good, with a wide variety of delicious food to choose from. We highly recommend MC Peru Expeditions to anyone planning a visit to Rainbow Mountain. Their excellent organization, great service, and attentive guide made the trip memorable.

Amazing views - The place is amazing. When you get to the mountain base you have the choice of walking to the top (90 minutes uphill), riding a horse or, riding a motorcycle ( driven by a local). The bike or horse cost 70 soles( $ 20) up or 90 round trip. 3 of us chose bike up the rest walked. Consequently, i had enough time on top to climb the back hill. See the big hand where you can take a picture and get to the photo stop in front of the mountain before most tours got to the top. There are tons of people with llamas that will take your picture or pose themselves for a tip. Also, I highly recommend trying the fried alpaca some are selling. It is delicious and it only costs 15 to 20 soles. I made my way down at my leisure. Since most of the group was still on top i was able to wander off and see the wild llamas, the offerings, the creek, and anything else that might call my attention. Once down, there are bathrooms for 2 soles, refreshments, curios, and fried alpaca again. The tour is well organized they were on time to get me from the hotel. Bring warm clothes, sunblock, plenty water,scarf and gloves. This mountain is at over 14000 feet, the air is cold no matter what. On my way down i saw many people that ended up hiring a horse to make it the last leg. That is always an option. The altitude is very taxing. The views of the entire valley and the experience as a whole is well worth the tour

Totally recommend - We had unforgettable experience. Communication, transportation, the tour - everything was perfect and organized properly. And it's worth to mention our guide - such easygoing and friendly man, that helped us a lot and took care about every step. And the lunch was pretty good, that was surprising. I still can't forget delicious salad that I got there. It's worth to take motorcycle one way and go by foot the way back from mountain. Our guide recommended us that and it was the best decision. Motorcycle for one way costs less - 70 soles.

Great value! - This tour handles all the transportation to and back from rainbow mountain. There is a motorbike option if you don’t want to do the 1 hr hike up. It gave us the flexibility to decide what we wanted to do after we got there. I would recommend taking the motor bike up and walking down to experience the beautiful trail leading up to rainbow mountain.

Take the motorcycle, enjoy Rainbow mountain and walk back - Absolutely solid experience! We did this tour the day after climbing Machu Picchu so took the motorcycle option - best decision. Very well organised trip, comfortable, well paced and reasonably priced.

Excellent tour - This is an excellent tour. The pick up times were early and arranged the night before via WhatsApp. Was glad to leave Cusco early as it meant we beat the crowd at the mountain. Breakfast stop was halfway the trip up. We opted for the motor cycle option which is arranged separately when you get to the mountain and this was also well coordinated. The drive up was intense but safe and maybe 5 minutes. Note, the bike route is not the same as the walking route so you cant hop on a bike halfway. Well worth the 90soles return trip. The walk to the top after the drop off stop was 10-15 minutes but we did a slow walk up as the altitude really hits you. The guide provided us walking sticks which were handy. The views were amazing and we spent an hour to the top. Walk with cash for entrance fee, motor bike and tips for posing with the llamas. We waited roughly 5 mins for our bike driver but took in the views while waited. Freddy was our guide and provided great communication and information about the mountain. Wilfred? was also a safe driver. We stopped for lunch and then back to Cusco about 330pm. Tips - dress warm..very warm and walk with extra layers, gloves etc as it is super cold early in the morning. Overall, excellent tour and totally recommended.

An amazing and easy way to get to know the Mountain of Colors - We had an unforgettable experience with the easy tour to the Mountain of Colors of MC Peru Expeditions. Instead of walking for hours, we went by linear motorbike with a local driver, in the blink of an eye we were already on the mountain, we took the motorbike up and down walking the 2.3 km distance , it was a simple hike and we didn't miss anything of the road or the landscape.
