Full experience with the guide Joel. We were picked up at 4 a.m., and we went for breakfast and then pro point of beginning of the climb. Joel de cara gave us instructions on height care, stay time and best places to take photos. On the way the lunch was delicious, only the environment that gets well crowded so we need to be a little quick. It was worth it.
Amazing experience! Joel was a fantastic tour guide for both Rainbow Mountain and Lake Humantay. Patient, funny and knowledgeable of every sight. Highly recommend if you want a smooth experience.
All worked out, but I expected to start from the other valley, west of the rainbow mountains what would have been a shorter drive. But Monica, our guide, was great and explained everything in detail.
Thank you for your feedback and for joining our Rainbow Mountain day trip. We appreciate your comments regarding the route and understand your expectations about starting from the western valley. We’re happy to hear that everything worked out well overall, and especially pleased that Monica made a positive impact on your experience with her detailed explanations and guidance throughout the tour. Greetings
