レインボーマウンテン、レッドバレーへのプライベートツアーとランチ

Samuel is a 10/10 guide. Always attentive and takes very good pictures. He was always around in case we needed anything and made us a video of our experience at the end.

The views are amazing, the service of the guide is excellent and they suggest you and take good photos. Always kept an eye on our security and provided interesting information

The mountain is beautiful, but unfortunately I didn’t get to do the Red Valley hike, as I was the only one in the group who booked Red Valley + Rainbow Mountain (everyone else just booked Rainbow Mountain), so I was told that the “Red Valley route is closed”.

The Red Valley is a hidden gem next to Rainbow Mountain, with awesome views of the valley and the surrounding mountains. Samuel showed us around and in addition taught us so much about the animals living in the area and about how his Inca heritage relates to this place. Can definitely recommend, though make sure you are well acclimatized by doing some other high-altitude hikes first. That way you will get most out if the experience!

This was a great tour, Samuel has a lot of experience and knew the best spots to take pictures with out having to wait in line. Talking about photos, we were impressed on the awesome pictures he was able to take from us. The hike is short but do to the altitude it makes it really hard. We never felt pressure form our guide he will wait for us to recover and would tell us to go at our own pace Samuel has a great knowledge which he was really excited to shared with us. He was also genuinely interested in our culture so we had a great chat about both cultures.

Amazing experience with Samuel! It showed us the way for the 7-color mountain and then we continued to the Red Valley. You can tell that Samuel knows what he does and is inexpert on the subject. He also took the time to explain the whole story and take thousands of pictures! Really what an amazing experience!

The experience was amazing, the guide gave us a lot of information matters and took very very good photos. They were punctual with the pickup and we were very satisfied with our trip, definitely super recommended

The tour was highly critizable and it did not live up to the decription on Tripadvisor at all. The so-called guide did not guide at all. He barely spoke 3 sentences on the entire tour. We were picked up 1 hour later than scheduled. When we finally arrived to the Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley, the guide rushed us to walk fast, and he did not walk with us at all. He just pointed out which way to walk, and then he left. He did not tell a single fact on the entire tour and he just showed us photos on his phone of the different viewpoints - he did not show us any of them, which led the group to missing out on more of them and even getting lost. It felt very unsafe and unprofessional. It would have been nice with at least some guidance on how to handle the altitude and the symptoms. On our way back to Cusco, the guide was very busy making stops for picking up his girlfriend, dropping her off and shopping for fruits. The guide jumped off the bus 1 hour before arriving to Cusco and left us with the bus driver who could not speak a single word in English. The minivan was a disaster. It was old and very dirty. Only 10 minutes after leaving Cusco, we had to stop for gas and a flat tire. There were no functioning seatbelts, which combined with very dangerous mountain driving, is highly critizable. The engine stopped functioning two times uphill on the narrow mountain roads, and on our way home, all of us had to help pushing the van to start again.

Couldn’t recommend more reaching Vinicunca through the red valley instead of the super touristic direct path. Way more challenging, way more rewarding. Shoutout to our guides to be extra caring with those experiencing altitude sickness!

We made the excursion of the Mountain of 7 colors and the Red Valley and left delighted. It was an amazing experience and Samuel was an excellent guide. We would definitely repeat and recommend it.
