Thanks Elvis for such a remarkable experience on this tour to Rainbow Mountain from Cusco. The company and the crew were exceptionally nice and handled the whole trip well. They offered us breakfast and lunch as a part of the package. The hike was a bit challenging but well worth the effort with the staggering views of Andean communities. Elvis was our guide and he patiently explained many things about the traditions and customs. It was a perfect full day trek. Not sure if it was because were there at the right time, the sight of the Rainbow Mountain was perfect and we got to see all colours.
