Afterward, we will descend to the base of Rainbow Mountain and take an additional 30-minute hike to the Red Valley viewpoint, where we will be treated to magnificent vistas. We will then walk through the beautiful Red Valley, a unique experience with no one else on the trail until we reach the parking lot.

Following our lunch, we will return to Cusco and drop you off at your hotel.

Rainbow Mountain Day Tour - The rainbow mountain day tour is truly an incredible experience, especially for nature lovers. This tour stands out because it starts a bit later, which not only means you can sleep in, but you end up missing pretty much all of the crowds. The entire bus ride was simply gorgeous and filled with local history and stopping at a panaderia to try some bread. Additionally, this tour provides you with some snacks to keep you going around on your hour long trek up the beautiful area. Our guide and driver (Nayda and Jose Luis) were fantastic and knowledgeable. Lunch was also held at a fantastic restaurant. Would definitely recommend this day tour!

Fantastic - What an amazing experience with Naiyda who absolutely made this day so memorable. While we had unexpected snow cover the colours of the mountain, it was still an unforgettable day and I’m so glad I did this. Definitely recommend. Ask Naiyda about her amazing trick with panoramic photos ;)

Exceptional tour. - Edwin's guidance was exceptional! He provided engaging commentary about the tour, Mountain, and Peru's history, and even treated us to tasty snacks. Despite the snowstorm at the summit, which limited visibility, the experience was unforgettable. I'd absolutely book this tour again!

First time at Rainbow Mountain - Great tour, going later in the day really worked out well, with less crowds and a 7,45 start, nice lunch and snacks included. Ronald is a great guide, Marco a good driver. The looked after us well and we were very lucky with the weather with a beautiful December day.
