Amazing experience.
Extraordinary excursion. Stunning landscapes and environments. Our guide Grimaldo was excellent, very helpful and knowledgeable. We recommend a late departure so that you do not have to wake up too early and you will find much less crowd on site.
Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved this...
Absolutely loved this experience. Stunning landscapes of the rainbow mountain but I found the surrounding Andes mountains just as spectacular. Everything ran on time, was well organised, food was good and guides were helpful/friendly. Highly recommend but note this is a long, tough day - you start really early (~3am), it’s a long drive out from Cusco and at 5,000m the climb up the mountain is not easy. There are horses available to rent for a reasonable price though if you need/want to use them.

Great Experience
Ysmael was an excellent tour guide. The trip went smoothly. He shared historical information along the way, and taught us Quechua words to connect with locals. He was attentive to our experience especially when we reached higher altitudes.
