Thoughts on Rainbow Mountain - Gorky and Marko were lovely guides to Rainbow Mountain. We were fortunate to have a clear morning on our approach to the summit. It was a humbling experience to gain insight into a day of the lives of the locals, see the alpacas and the magnificence that is Rainbow Mountain. Highly recommended!

Great time at Rainbow Mountian! - We had a great time on our tour! Our guide was on time, friendly, and very helpful with the ATVs. The scenery on the ride up is amazing. The rainbow mountain was beautiful. After the atvs, we took a motorbike up to the top, which was an exhilarating ride. At the top you can take many pictures and there are alpacas and llamas. Then we hiked back down to the atvs. The food for breakfast and lunch was good. Overall we had an amazing time!

Very good option to visit Vinicunca - Very punctual. We took the private tour and it was super comfortable to get to the mountain when there were almost no people left. It is expensive but much quieter. Highly recommended.

Excellent & safe - Applicable only for the tour on 18 September 2024: Representatives of Viajes Speedy Tour were quite good. The tour guide named Joel, was very clear in giving out instructions and guidance, and was quite helpful on the trek up Vinicunca. The driver named Ronald was very able and we felt very safe the way Ronald handled the difficult mountain roads. We would recommend to all our friends to use Viajes Speedy Tour when they decided to visit Cusco.
