Cusco: Palccoyo Regenbogenberg, Mittagsbuffet, Frühstück

Amazing experience! Definitely my favorite activity in my short stay in Peru. Good breakfast and lunch, although the restaurant was very crowded with other groups heading to the Vinicunca mountain. Our guide John Wick was charming throughout, answered all our questions and guided us very patiently (we took a lot of pictures along the way). The mountain, as such, is incredible, its surroundings beautiful and the number of people much less than in its "big sister" Vinicunca; also the journey is much quieter and less demanding. In addition to the colorful mountain (which is actually 3 different stretches) you walk in the stone forest and you can enjoy the landscape of the Red Valley and the other mountains of the chain. 100% recommended and would even repeat it happily.

Horrible experience. Do not book. The coach bus was crammed with no space to sit properly. The tour guide was reading from his phone & very poor customer service skills. The driver played his radio so loud with no concern through the entire trip with no consideration. The roads to Rainbow Mountain were so so bad & the poor quality of the coach made it worse. We were all sick by the end of this tour.

Cristian an Ruben were fantastic guide and driver. Palccoyo is an amazing place and recommend this Montaña de 7 Colores over the other if you're looking for more color and less crowds

I requested the tour in the morning the day before it should start. At 11pm I still had no confirmation so I texted them. I just got an instant mail of cancellation with no chance for another tour tomorrow. Very nice.

The ticket is excluded, they write in description that it’s included, and in inclusions & exclusions they write that it’s excluded, so just to clear that out. We didn’t get a guide, probably because of small amount of people. Breakfast and lunch was pretty good. There was almost no one, in total at the moment I was, there were like 15 tourists, I was in the main rainbow mountain, Vinicunca, it had snow, but I hated that it was so overcrowded. Some guides told me that Palccoyo for them is more beautiful and better than Vinicunca. And another thing is that if you don’t like hiking, it is perfect for you, you need just climb upstairs unlike Vinicunca, which requires 1.5 h hiking and climbing in to steep terrain

First things first, this trip is very good value for money and I would recommend, but as per the title of this review you very much get what you pay for so there are a few things to be aware of. 1. The pick up is NOT 7am as per the information - we were told we’d be picked up at 4:40, which turned into 4:30, but then they didn’t actually pick us up until almost 5am. Not really an issue but would have been nice to have had accurate information before booking. 2. All the correspondence is done through WhatsApp and we only seems to be sent the information about the trip the night before after nagging. Again, not the end of the world but an official email from the company with all the details the day before would have been good. 3. There’s not really much in the way of a tour - much like other reviews have said, most the info is given in Spanish and even then, the tour guide is basically just there to show you the way. If you’re looking to understand more about the place, book a different tour. Overall the tour was good - breakfast and lunch were decent and the pick up and drop off were easy enough. Not the comfiest bus journeys of my life but again, for the price, pretty good.

Great hike, a little difficult due to the altitude but it was doable and definitively worth it. Our guide, Franco was very informative and supportive.

The breakfast and lunch buffets were amazing! And more than enough, Jorge was enthusiastic!, fun!, and caring. Would highly recommend this tour!

Ray was an amazing, funny, knowledgeable guide that dealt with a few curve balls like a pro. 1000% recommend n

our guide Jacob guided us to the mountain of Palccoyo on a very short walk and recommended to visit, has beautiful landscapes such as the stone forest or the Inca bridge, I recommend it
