ペルークスコ発パルコヨ行きの1日ツアー（オルタナティブ・レインボー・マウンテン）

Aiben was an amazing tour guide—fun, knowledgeable, and attentive. Everything went so smoothly from start to finish. The driver was excellent as well. The hike itself was beautiful, and Aiben even took great photos of us along the way. Lunch was fantastic with so much variety, including options for vegetarians. I accidentally left my glove in the car after being dropped off at the hotel, and they went above and beyond by bringing it back and leaving it at the reception.

Rainbow Mountain is an amazing place to experience, truly a wonder of the world. Flashpacker knows how to get you to this place so you get the most enjoyment out of it. Our car arrived at 3 AM, which is early but really the right time (we got there at 6:30) to get ahead of the crowd and enjoyed the beauty of the area in peace. The road to Rainbow Mountain converts about halfwa to dirt and is quite windy, but Fernando, our driver, was excellent! No queasy stomachs. Freddy was our guide for the hike. The hike is pretty gradual, but you’re at really high elevation, over 15,000 feet, so you feel the hike. Freddy was very attentive, suggesting many breaks to catch her breath. He did a great job explaining what we were seeing, which is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Pictures don’t do it justice. Freddy is an experienced guide and he gave us a holistic understanding on Rainbow Mountain and the other glaciers/mountains you see, along with their significance to the Inca’s. The day ended with a lunch at Chef Mario’s house, which was a surprise. It was a feast of local foods, chicken and beef dishes, and of course potatoes! It was a delicious and to a delightful day. Thank you Fernando, Freddy, and Mario!

Palccoyo, Tres Mountains did not disappoint! We were greeted by our guide Rosbel and we joined three other travelers. The drive took about 3 1/2 hours. As we got higher and closer to Palyccoyo, flocks of alpaca dotted the steep green terraced slopes. We had a tasty breakfast provided by Flashpacker Connect and then started our hike. Taking a slow pace, I was able to deal with the 16,000 ft. Elevation. Rosbel was a wonderful guide, giving us information, taking our photos and making sure I was alright. We had a gorgeous partly sunny day, clouds were very picturesque. The tres rainbow mountains were beautiful with different bands of color. It was glorious the see the multi-striped mountains. We took ample photos and then headed to the rock forest which took a steeper turn, but we had amazing views from the top of the rocks with the tres mountains in the background. After several hours we finished and were treated to a Peruvian buffet at a house. It was one the most delicious meals I’ve had in Peru without the pretense. Our driver David handled the hairpin curves and passing with ease. Highly recommend this trek!

Very professional in all ways. Bernie was very knowledgeable, accomodating & attentive. I learned and connected profoundly to the land and culture.The food was great Thankyou (Christo). The driver (Fidel) was safe & professional. I will be requesting Bernie on my next Peru journey 🙏🏼 Aṉay

We booked the Palcoyyo with Inka Bridge extension and the guys at fkashpacker went above and beyond for us. I don’t know why anyone would choose rainbow mountain with all the people over palcoyyo. We had the whole place to ourselves for almost our whole time there. We loved learning Quechua language and customs with Bernie and nothing was too much. When we return we will definitely be requesting him to take us to wherever we decide to go on the next trip!

We booked a private Rainbow Mountain Tour and it was AMAZING! We left really early, around 2;30 am in a warm and comfortable van from Cusco. They provided blankets for us to sleep on the 3 hour drive and when we arrived we were the only people there! Flashpacker provided coffee, light breakfast etc...then, we started our walk/hike with our guide. It was truly unbelievable to have the place to ourselves all the way to the top! Just us and some alpacas racing each other to the top! On the hike down around 9 am, the mobs of people were coming! We felt so happy to have had such a magical experience all to ourselves thanks to Flashpackers impeccable planning.. We had a lovely sit down lunch on the way back to Cusco and it was all perfect!

I loved the entire day and all of my experience. Great guide, great driver, great snacks, comfy car & DELISH Peruvian lunch at a special place just for this tour. It was an early morning but well worth it. Beat the crowds!!! Ask for Jacob (& driver Mario) Jacob was so fun. He was very attentive to our needs and our experience of the entire day. He was very knowledgeable & we had a great conversations learning about the Peruvian culture and all other things. Jacob took phenomenal photos for myself & my friend & fun videos. He knows all the perfect picture spots and all of the best angles. I happened to be there on my birthday and at the very end of the tour, Jacob, Mario and the flash packer team showed up and surprised me with a birthday song and cake! It was such a good day. I will be booking all future tours with them. They can organize anything around Peru. USE FASHPACKER!!! They will not disappoint and help you create memories of a lifetime 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Our initial plan was to go to Rainbow Mountain which was closed because of local tribe issues, so we were given this alternative which we did some reading up on and found out it’s a great alternative so we chose this even when rainbow mountain opened the same morning our tour began. It was the earliest pick up on any tour we’ve ever been on (3:00am) but was by request since our small group just ended up being the 2 of us… and the smart choice! It’s a 4 hour drive from Cusco. We got there at 7am and there were only a couple of people there with us. By the time we were coming down from our short hike, there were nearly a hundred people on their way up the trail and arriving. Our guide Yeicob was awesome, calm, collected, attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. We had blankets during the van ride, breakfast on our arrival, lunch afterwards from an amazing chef, Mario I believe was his name, and t-shirts given as a souvenir! What I appreciated the most about our guide was his knowledge and attentiveness to altitude sickness. I was not expecting to struggle as much as I did, but 16,000 feet is no joke at all! And I like to call myself decently young (40) and well conditioned/healthy. So it was surprising how much it hit me but he knew exactly what to do and his calm demeanor was the most comforting during it. The three mountains were beautiful and the views were great. In all honesty, would I do it again, absolutely not. But am I glad I can say I did it and experienced 16,000 feet? I think so… (my husband was quite a bit better off than I was). I’d say just be prepared, take it slow, and listen to your guide and let them help you when they offer.

LeAnn reached out right before we boarded our flights with changes to our Original Rainbow mountain 1 day. Due to local community conflicts, we opted to change our 1 day tour to Tres rainbow according to LeAnn’s recommendation. She was very patient and creative in ways to workaround changes since our first booking pre-COVID. My husband and I were the only two on the tour that day. Jacob, our guide, Met us at our hotel at 3am in the morning and we went on the most breathtaking walk I could have imagined. Seeing the Rainbow mountains itself was great, but I have to say we were most impressed by the quiet wilderness throughout our hike more than the destination itself. Jacob took such good care of us throughout the hike. Constantly checking on our breathing, our pace, and oxygen levels. He was also the best photographer and videographer we could have asked for. Thanks to him, we have many photos to remember our trip by. We also loved how much Jacob was passionate in sharing about the culture and history of Cusco and the Inca’s. Flashpacker came highly recommended from a friend of ours, and they definitely did not disappoint!
