レインボーマウンテンとレッドバレーハイキング1泊2日

We were fortunate enough to see Rainbow Mountain in all its glory — one side blanketed in snow, the other ablaze with its full spectrum of colors. What a privilege! Our guide and the entire adventure were flawless from start to finish. We'd also like to highlight the excellent behind-the-scenes support from the agency — the experience exceeded our expectations thanks to their flexibility and remarkable patience. A special mention goes to Lidia, who was exceptionally professional and warm throughout the coordination of the two or three tours we booked with the agency. Many thanks to her and to the entire Salkantay Trekking team. We recommend them without any reservation — 500%! Yorik and Marie

The rainbow mountain trip was a fabulous day out with absolutely stunning scenery. Carlos was a really friendly and happy guide which created a great atmosphere in the group. Had a brilliant day out:)

Me and my aunt signed up for the 2 day Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley trek. It was a difficult.hike due to the elevation, but our guide Ruben, was very supportive and helpful. The food, cooked by Alex, was delicious and plentiful. Grigorio helped us out when we were tired, by taking us up some of the steeper parts of the trail via horseback. We saw alpaca, llamas, chinchillas, ducks, and the landscape was stunning.

Overall, Salkantay offers carefully-planned treks with top-notch equipment and staff. We foolishly picked an extremely challenging itinerary for our first attempt at Andes hiking. We reached altitudes close to 16,000 feet and nighttime temperature was about 32F. Our guide Ruben was very patient with our frequent rest stops and provided coca and oxygen as well as lots of encouragement. Horseman Giulito (sp?) gave us a few rides on our friend Juanito at some of the steepest places at the highest altitude. Alex cooked delicious and abundant food. To reach the top and see the Rainbow Mountain and know that we made it was exhilarating. What a ride!

Salkantay Trekking was an incredible company to use for our trek! We explored the peaks surrounding Ausangate Glacier and camped close to the base of Rainbow Mountain, which made us one of the first to arrive to Rainbow Mountain the 2nd morning! Ruben, our guide, was phenomenal, set an appropriate pace and was stopping often to let us catch our breath (hello altitude) and check in on how we were doing! The food served was incredible and the entire team greeted us with smiles at every step! I would highly recommend Salkantay and Ruben!

We did the two day rainbow mountain and Ausangate trek with Marco as our guide and Elzban as our chef. We could not have asked for a better team or experience. The views and mountains were stunning. You get to experience being in the Andes with almost nobody around. And you get to rainbow mountain before any other crowds come. It was unforgettable being able to be out there in the quiet and solitude and enjoy the views with knowledgeable and wonderful locals. Would recommend to everyone to do this experience!!

So I actually did the 9 day Andean Explorer so I visited other archeological sites outside of the 5 day trek. I went to Rainbow Mountain and The Red Valley as well. For those explorations, my guide was Ricardo with Salkantay Trekking. Ricardo is amazing. He’s constantly smiling, is super helpful and patient, and has a wealth of knowledge about the places we visited and the world around us. We had some great conversations about plants and our connections to nature. Ricardo made this whole experience even better. Highly recommend requesting Ricardo for all of your small explorations with Salkantay. He’s awesome

This was so well organized. Amazing experience. The Red Valley is not to be missed. It was breathtaking. Ricardo was such a knowledgeable and attentive guide! The altitude is no joke. Take it slow

Red valley is crazy cool. Its the rare gem of peru. Ricardo answered all my questions and was super knowledgeable. Thank you Ricardo!

The landscape is just breathtaking, literally and figuratively!! Couldn't recommend this tour more, especially with Guide Javier and Cook Julio! What a trip!!
