This was the earliest pick-up I’ve ever done, but totally worth it to avoid the crowds. It was definitely a small group because there were only two of us. The drive was long but they gave us blankets and the van had reclining seats for us to sleep. The driver handled the winding mountain roads really well, I never felt unsafe. The place itself is beautiful: valleys, a sea of clouds, and herds of alpacas and llamas everywhere. Our guide Leo was knowledgeable and kind enough to lend me his gloves when I forgot to bring mine. The ATV ride to Rainbow Mountain was a highlight: incredible landscapes, Ausangate in the distance, and very few people that early. Getting here is rewarding. We got lucky and had beautiful clear views at the summit. This won’t be something I’ll forget soon.
Thank you so much for sharing this—it truly means a lot to us. We’re really happy to hear that the early pick-up was worth it and helped you enjoy a quieter, more peaceful experience at Rainbow Mountain. It’s great to know you felt comfortable during the long drive—our team always tries to make those early hours as cozy as possible, so we’re glad the blankets and reclining seats helped. We’ll also pass along your kind words to your driver; navigating those mountain roads safely is something we take very seriously. Leo will be especially touched by your mention. He genuinely cares about our, and gestures like lending his gloves are just who he is. We’re lucky to have him on our team. We love that you enjoyed the ATV ride and those incredible views of Ausangate—having clear skies and fewer crowds really does make the experience unforgettable. And of course, those alpacas and llamas never fail to make the journey even more special 😊 Thank you again for trusting us with your adventure. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future!
From the moment our guide Roger met us at our hotel we new were in for a special day. Roger was incredibly knowledgeable, advised us on local history on the way to Rainbow Mountain and answered all of our questions. Our driver was amazing too, we felt very safe under his excellent driving skills. We had a beautiful buffet lunch before arriving at Rainbow Mountain. The ATVs were well maintained and we were given very clear and precise safety instructions. Roger and the driver took pictures and videos of us during the day. We had a bonus stop on the way back to Cusco to see and cross the river on an Inca bridge. We were picked up at 10am and arrived back at 8:30pm. We missed the crowds, had great photo ops and still got back for dinner. One of the best tours I have ever been on anywhere in the world!
Wow—thank you for such an amazing and detailed review! Reading this truly made our day. We’re so happy to hear that your experience with Roger started strong right from hotel pick-up. He’s incredibly passionate about what he does, and it’s wonderful to know his knowledge and energy made your day even more special. We’ll make sure he sees your kind words—he’ll be thrilled! It’s also great to hear you felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Our drivers take a lot of pride in what they do, especially on those mountain routes, so your feedback means a lot to the whole team. We love that you enjoyed the buffet lunch, the ATV experience, and those clear safety instructions—making sure everything runs smoothly (and safely!) is always our priority. And those extra touches like photos, videos, and the stop at the Inca bridge are exactly the kind of moments we hope turn a great tour into an unforgettable one. Missing the crowds, getting incredible views, and still making it back in time for dinner sounds like the perfect day! Thank you again for trusting us with your adventure. Hearing that this was one of the best tours you’ve experienced anywhere in the world truly means everything to us. We hope to see you again for another adventure someday!
We had such a great time visiting the Rainbow Mountains with Roger (Guide) and Edgar (Driver)! We wanted to start later in the morning and were looking for a private tour (with ATVs) to cover Rainbow Mountains. Even before we booked the tour, Roger gave us very detailed information about what to expect and how to prepare well, which built our trust tremendously! We were picked up from our hotel in the morning in a comfortable vehicle which took us to the Rainbow Mountains through a very scenic route - the red river was flowing beautifully and it was just so peaceful in the mountains! Roger has excellent photography skills as well and captured some great moments for us. Roger was very patient and the entire tour was so smoothly organized that my wife actually forgot about her altitude sickness :). Roger did carry an oxygen cylinder as well to manage any emergencies and I am thankful since my wife used it. My wife and I are very grateful to Roger and Rainbow Mountain Expeditions and we'll strongly recommend everyone to book through them - you'll have a delightful time!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review—it truly means a lot to us! We’re so happy to hear that you and your wife had such a great experience with Roger and Edgar. From the very beginning, we always aim to provide clear and honest information so our clients feel fully prepared and confident, so it’s wonderful to know that Roger helped build that trust even before your tour started. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the later start and the private experience—that peaceful drive through the mountains, especially with views like the red river, is something really special. And yes, Roger will be so happy to hear you appreciated his photography skills—he loves capturing those unforgettable moments! We’re especially glad your wife felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the journey. Altitude can be challenging, so knowing that Roger’s patience and preparation (including the oxygen support) made a difference truly means everything to us. Your safety and well-being are always our top priority. Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending us—it really means the world. We hope to welcome you both back for another adventure someday!
