Private - Palcoyo Mountain Tour | Einfacherer Regenbogenberg

We did 3 private guided tours with this company. I had been emailing with the company and was very impressed with their communication and professionalism. All my questions were answered, everything was clear. First, Machu Picchu: guide picked us up at hotel, had our bus tickets. It was great to just be able to follow him since with over 5,000 people entering every day, it can get quite crowded and hectic. Our guide was excellent; took photos of us and explained everything. When it started to rain and we decided to cut the tour short, we all went to breakfast and he shared more information about the area with us. He was great! Second tour was in Cuzco: tour of the city plus Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly; lunch was included at a great restaurant. Third tour was with same guide the next day: to Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain. Long ride up to 16,200 feet, views were breathtaking. Overall, highly recommend this company. I am a travel agent with over 40 years in the industry, and rarely have I dealt with a tour company so professional and organized.

This was a superb experience. Alex, my guide was right on time for pickup and the drive was smooth. On reaching Palcoyo Mountain he was great in navigating the hike and was okay with my pace. On reaching the mountain he took great photos. He was friendly, considerate and went above and beyond to make this a memorable experience. Highly appreciated and recommended.

Excellent experience, picked up on time and they brought us water and a snack bag. Long full da. Our guide Ellis was knowledgeable and conscientious to our needs. Two of us wanted to go a bit extra up a steep potion of the trail that was past the normal top. 16,000 plus. He took us there and it was epic! Crowds were very low and we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves on the way back.

Elis our guide and Alexis our driver were very professional, friendly and accommodating. They made sure we were safe and comfortable on a fairly challenging hike to 5000 m altitude

Best value for the money so far. Excellent timing and knowledge of the area. The guide even brought along oxygen if we needed it

A tough walk to the Rainbow mountain summit, but the experience was well worth it. Our guide Alex was friendly, funny and helpful and runs a smooth operation.

We had a wonderful day with our guide Ronald and our driver. And we drove a lot… Nevertheless, the tour was completely worth it. Ronald always had plenty of information ready, knows the best photo spots, and of course also takes the best photos. It was also pleasant that we had the Rainbow Mountains almost to ourselves, since most tours start earlier. The landscape was simply dreamlike. Also worth highlighting is the high-quality and very delicious lunch on the way back. In addition, there were snacks and water for in between. Oxygen and a pulse oximeter for safety were also available.

Alex our guide, and Alex our driver (different people) were amazing, kinda d super patient with our kids and family. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide Alex is absolutely fantastic. He’s super kind and patient, and he took our health very seriously. In the beginning, he let us try some local bread of Cusco and even gave us snack bags, which came in handy and is incredibly generous. During the hike, he was very caring to my family, especially towards my daughter. He let her use the oxygen mask, gave her a coca leaf, and even helped her walk down from the peak. He took the hike at my family’s pace and never rushed us. When we got down from the mountain, the driver, also named Alex, had already prepared for us hot towels, and Alex, the tour guide, even asked us if we wanted any tea or other drinks and for a stool ready for us to get in the van easier. The restaurant was also amazing and incredibly clean. The food is of amazing quality and delicious. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend these two gentlemen.

At 8:30, long after most tourists had departed for Rainbow Mountain, Ellisvan and Juan picked us up at our hotel and drove us through the crazy Cusco traffic, making it look easy. Along the way, we stopped so Elisvan could buy some of the prize winning bread from a vendor. Then he shared it family style. We passed through villages and farms where the people were dressed in their traditional clothes. At the emptying parking lot, we piled out and headed up. The timing was excellent because the crowds were gone. It was the hardest 3.2 km walk we'd ever done. Elisvan was solicitous and ended up carrying one of our packs. At the top, when we hit the spectacular view, he took time to photograph all of us and then the descent began. It was easier than going up, but still hard. There was Muna tea waiting for us at the van and then the drive down. We stopped at a restaurant where we had preordered our dinner and when we pulled in, we were served a delicious meal immediately. For the final portion of the journey, Elisvan cranked up the tunes and played us some of his favourites. I would recommend this trip and guide for anyone who wants to push their limits to see a natural wonder of the world.
