Highly recommended! - Thanks Rhonald for the super nice experience. You do it with a lot of enthusiasm and tell a lot of fun facts in between. Indeed, we had the mountain almost all to ourselves. And then we had a great dinner at a nice restaurant. Highly recommended to join this tour!

Comfortable ride, beautiful hike - Having a little later start was a great option for us! We were picked up at our hotel and traveled by car with our driver and guide. It was nice to not be bounced around in a van. We ordered our lunch at a sweet little restaurant about 40min from the trailhead and enjoyed it after the hike. Our guide was very patient with our slow pace and many questions, and we loved the views and visiting with the llamas. It was a big highlight of our trip, we really enjoyed it.

Definitely recommend - Amazing experience! Our guide, Alex, was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Our driver was also very nice and drove safely along the windy mountain roads. I was really on the fence about doing Rainbow Mountain but it ended up being my favorite part of my trip to Peru. Hiking at this altitude was challenging but so rewarding. Highly recommend.

Well organized - great guide - recommend horses - It was a great day! Elisvar was a great guide, Alex was a great driver, and everything was very well organized. We had never ridden horses before so we decided to pay the 80 soles per person to take the horses up near the top. We got there quickly which gave us extra time to take photos and eat a snack at the top before we had to walk back down. One of the other people in the tour had trouble with the altitude and the guide was very helpful. He gave that person an extra pair of gloves with hand warmers, put an oxygen mask on him for a bit, and gave some agua florida to help with the altitude sickness. Afterwards he was still able to enjoy the views, get some photos, and get back down safely.
