Our 7 Color Mountain tour with Machu Picchu Viajes Peru was one of the highlights of our trip! We had an early start with a 4:30 AM pick-up, right on time. Both breakfast and lunch were included, and honestly, we were pleasantly surprised — the meals were healthy, tasty, and there was plenty of food to keep us going. The hike was definitely worth it, with stunning views. Our guide, was kind, patient, and encouraging, helping us along and taking great photos. Great experience overall — highly recommend!

Did this tour with my teen son and daughter . Early morning wake up but is so worth it. Our guide was Alex , very knowledgeable , attentive to everyone in the group being a larger group. He actually checked on everyone on the whole trail . Not sure how he did it but he was always around . We spoke only English and he was able to translate . Had oxygen If you needed. I suffered from altitude sickness and he checked to make sure I was ok. Overall I will highly reccomed this company
Wonderful place!! Very good service, punctual and friendly! The physical demand is great but it can be done even if you have no training.

My trip to Seven Colors Mountain was amazing and awesome. Part by four-wheeler and part walking in both enjoyed the beautiful landscapes. On the other hand, Domingo, our guide, made the experience enriching with his knowledge and attention. Allen, our driver, ensured a safe and comfortable transfer. Their professionalism and dedication made the tour unforgettable. Highly recommended! My wife and I will surely be back, so much to see. We had a great time. Machu Picchu trips Peru are the most.

Highly recommend! The views are stunning and you get the option to hike, ride a horse or motorbike depending on how you're feeling about getting to the top. Alex, our guide, was on time, thorough and friendly!!
Thank you kindly for your wonderful review Carolyn. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a fabulous experience with the agency and on your tour of Rainbow Mountain with Alex. We hope to see you in Cusco again soon.
My husband and I traveled with our service dog and both Sandro and Benji were sooo welcoming! Benji is the best driver we can ask for our whole Cusco trip As for Sandro, he is the most informative and loving person I have ever met! 4 days with the both of them and they made us feel right at home
Thank you kindly for your wonderful review Sarah. We are so pleased to hear that you had a great experience with the agency and on the tours with Sandro and Benji! We hope to see you both and your Husky again in Cusco soon.
The most memorable part of our tour to rainbow mountain tour was the spectacular view of the mountain. Our driver, Benjamin, was very professional. He puts us at ease for entire trip to and back from the mountain, though part of the road was tough. Our tour guide, Tatiana, was courteous and a nice lady. I wish she would explain more about the mountain. We felt she was there as a babysitter not a tour guide.
Thank you kindly for your review of your tour to Rainbow Mountain. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the view and your experience with your driver Benjamin. We are sorry to hear that you felt you were not given more information about Rainbow Mountain by your guide. We have passed on your feedback to Tatiana, and hope your review improves the experience in the future.
