Ons epische avontuur begint om 04:00 uur, we halen je op bij de deur van je accommodatie om 3 uur naar de zuidelijke vallei te gaan in ons privévervoer, langs de vallei zullen we pittoreske Andes-steden, vruchtbare valleien en prachtige glooiende bergen, In Cusipata zullen we genieten van een heerlijk continentaal ontbijt om je de voedzame boost te geven die je nodig hebt om aan de wandeling te beginnen.
We zullen onze reis voortzetten tot we het startpunt van de wandeling bereiken op 4.630 m/15.190 ft, daar beginnen we met het volgen van het mooie pad in het midden van de Andes-bergen. Naarmate je stijgt, word je beloond met een indrukwekkend uitzicht op sneeuwbergen, natuurlijk heeft de wandeling enkele korte pauzes en onze gids zal je helpen te begrijpen hoe de mensen uit dat gebied nog steeds het voorbeeld van hun voorouders in praktijk brengen, onze gidsen spreek Quechua zodat ze je woorden in onze moedertaal leren. Na anderhalf uur lopen bereiken we de verbazingwekkende Rainbow Mountain (5.030 m/16.502 ft), neem de tijd om de verbazingwekkende schoonheid van deze indrukwekkende natuurlijke formatie te bewonderen, je hebt ongeveer 1 uur om de spectaculaire uitzichten van de omliggende gebieden - valleien, bergen zoals Ausangate Mountain. Uiteindelijk keren we terug op dezelfde manier als vroeger, de afdaling duurt 1 uur of 45 minuten en onze auto wacht op ons om nog 1 uur naar Cusipata te gaan.
We kwamen aan in Cusipata en gingen naar ons restaurant om te genieten van ons lunchbuffet, daarna stappen we weer in ons transport om terug te gaan naar de stad Cusco, 3 uur reizen in ons toeristenvervoer. Het einde van de tour is in je accommodatie in Cusco.

Our tour guid Rubens and our driver Willy were extremely friendly, helpful and full of information. Our driver Willy also drove very safely the hole trip. Rubens was very patient and gave us lods of tips and advice along the hike.
My friends and I had an unforgettable time during our tour of the Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley. Massive shout out to Ruben who went above and beyond throughout the tour. He was friendly, approachable, and was always making sure we were taken care of. Ruben and his team accommodated the tour to our schedule as we had a bus to Machu Picchu leaving at 4:30 PM. We made it with an hour to spare without compromising any time during the hike. Thank you Ruben!!
Was amazing, our guide Ruben was the best, chillest guy of all time, even David Joo made it up the mountain. Lunch was great, they gave us blankets on the ride there, breakfast in a lil bag even though we wanted to go super early and skip breakfast. Great experience.
We just had a great tour with Ruben and Fernando! He was so friendly and knowledgeable. He also went above and beyond to make sure we were okay with the elevation. It’s no joke. Highly recommend it!
We did the late start tour-which was difficult to find, that included red Valley. We chose to do the private one because we couldn’t do another 4 AM pick up. We are very happy we did this. It was just the two of us a Driver Fernando and our Guide Pablo from Apu. It was a quick smooth ride to go. We had a big breakfast before we left and they stopped at the restaurant. You’d normally stop at for lunch and breakfast and picked up a big lunch box for us for after the hike. About 2/3 of the way through the hike it started to hail and then by the time we got up to the top at the view point it was snowing. Of course this was no longer a rainbow mountain, but a white mountain. We waited a while though, and eventually, the snow stopped and melted, and we saw the beautiful colours of the rainbow mountain come out. we see the signs for beat the crowd all the time for the 4 AM tours, but those are the ones that actually end up with way too many people at the top. We maximum at any time so 20 people at the top so the late start is really the one that beats the crowds.
We did two private tours, the colorful mountain and the Humantay Lagoon! They were both exceptional, always attentive and very friendly! The guide Yaha was the best, told us the story, took care of us all the way, helped us when we were tired! 100% recommended tours with them😊
Departure at 8:00 am and arrival at 11:00 am at the parking lot. We opted for a box lunch (super good) that we consumed arrived at the Rainbow Mountains parking lot. Our Hiking lasted 3h 40 minutes, the guide made us take many breaks in the climb (he was always by our side wondering how we were). The Red Valley costs 30 soles per person to have in cash. By 18:00 we returned to Cuzco downtown. In the afternoon there are fewer people in the morning, while climbing the others descend (see photo). Super nice and good driver and guide, the road to the mountain is narrow with a few curves. The wind at the summit is very strong, you need gloves, a hat and a windproof jacket. I rate the exclusion 5/5, it was worth it!
An amazing day with an excellent guide Gi, Dionicio the cook and his assistant Benedicto, not forgetting the driver. We started with a lavish breakfast, then ascended the Rainbow Mountain followed bybthe Red Valley. Spectacular views. Lovely Cusco people on the way. At the end, we had another lavish lunch. We couldn't believe how Dionicio had time to prepare so much of the delicious food. We will never forget the experience.
We had an amazing trip. Our tour guide went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy, he was very knowledgeable, told us all the history about Rainbow Mountain and surrounding, he even helped carry my backpack when I was tired to climb. We had a private tour and that was the best thing for us and our 12, 14 years old kids. The car was big, comfortable and clean. Breakfast and lunch had good options. We are very happy with our wonderful rainbow mountain experience and view from the top was well worth it!
JUST AMAZING!!!! Ruben my tour guide and Walter the driver were just perfect. I really couldnt have asked for more. Ruben is full of local and national history, I had the best day ever! The walk wasnt as tough as I had thought, the views of Rainbow Mountain are just perfect, I could have stayed there all day looking at vast scenery. Right after I finished this tour I booked 2 more day trips with Ruben which were just as perfect. Private tours are for sure the way to go, it was so perfect that way. I would recommend getting up early and leave at 4am, the early start will pay off as you will arrive before the crowds. Dont miss out on the Red Valley too, which is just as stunning and a lot less people! If you are thinking of doing this tour book it now, you wont regret it! Next time Im in Peru I would love to do the 5 day trek.
