Quite Wonderful

The mountain roads to Palcoyo are difficult and the driver navigated quite well. The guide was very considerate of pace needs at the high altitudes. He made sure we learned about the area and were able to see everything and take good pictures. The mountains were unlike anything we have ever seen! We enjoyed watching the alpaca and sheep herds, as well.

Operator response

Yes, the mountains of Cusco are beautiful, thank you for trusting us.

Good breakfast and lunch. When we were connected with our guide he was informative and fun. Driver was a poor driver.

we were picked up by a driver who did not speak English despite requesting this. The english speaking guide met us 2 hrs after

Operator response

Good morning, the driver speaks Spanish, since his sole purpose is to drive. The guide speaks English, since he's the one who provides all the information about the mountain. Thank you very much for your comment, so we can continue improving.

Once in a lifetime..

This trip was amazing! The hike was an arduous but our guide was so encouraging! He encouraged us to take as many rest stops as we needed. He let us stop as often as possible to take pictures and answer questions. He was very knowledgeable about the entire area and freely shared his knowledge. When we finally arrived at the pinnacle of seeing the painted mountains, it was extraordinary. He let us take our time, take lots of pictures, and congratulated us on our achievement! I would highly recommend this tour to folks who visit Peru.

Insanely beautiful day!!

My experience was unforgettable. Erick was our guide, he was super fun to explore with and to spend the day with. He taught us words in Quechuan throughout our exertion, and was always cracking a good joke. I was left speechless on multiple occasions due to the awe inspiring views and energy of the place. It looks as if it is coming out of a movie set. The food was wonderful as well!! The whole trip was well organized and inexpensive, the team went above and beyond to meet our needs.

Great day trip

Bus ride was long and bumpy. Our guide knew very little English and we knew very little Spanish but made it work! Rainbow mountain was awesome. Great landscapes all around. Breakfast and lunch was good.

Mountain and forest of stones

The place is very beautiful and very quiet, ideal to visit since there are not many tourists. The mountain is super beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot.

Beautiful place to go with family

We traveled with older people and our agent recommended this mountain to us since it is much easier than Vinicunca and it is correct that we were able to visit Palcoyo without any problem.
