Our trip to Rainbow...

Our trip to Rainbow Mountain with MC Peru Expeditions was a wonderful experience. The team communicated clearly in advance about the itinerary and pickup details, making the tour smooth and well organized. Our tour guide, Mr. Hilton, took excellent care of our group throughout the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided helpful information about Rainbow Mountain and the surrounding area, ensuring everyone had an enjoyable experience. The buffet breakfast and lunch arranged at the hotel were very good, with a wide variety of delicious food to choose from. We highly recommend MC Peru Expeditions to anyone planning a visit to Rainbow Mountain. Their excellent organization, great service, and attentive guide made the trip memorable.

Amazing views

The place is amazing. When you get to the mountain base you have the choice of walking to the top (90 minutes uphill), riding a horse or, riding a motorcycle ( driven by a local). The bike or horse cost 70 soles( $ 20) up or 90 round trip. 3 of us chose bike up the rest walked. Consequently, i had enough time on top to climb the back hill. See the big hand where you can take a picture and get to the photo stop in front of the mountain before most tours got to the top. There are tons of people with llamas that will take your picture or pose themselves for a tip. Also, I highly recommend trying the fried alpaca some are selling. It is delicious and it only costs 15 to 20 soles. I made my way down at my leisure. Since most of the group was still on top i was able to wander off and see the wild llamas, the offerings, the creek, and anything else that might call my attention. Once down, there are bathrooms for 2 soles, refreshments, curios, and fried alpaca again. The tour is well organized they were on time to get me from the hotel. Bring warm clothes, sunblock, plenty water,scarf and gloves. This mountain is at over 14000 feet, the air is cold no matter what. On my way down i saw many people that ended up hiring a horse to make it the last leg. That is always an option. The altitude is very taxing. The views of the entire valley and the experience as a whole is well worth the tour

Operator response

Lisandro, thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed review. We’re very happy to know you enjoyed the experience. For us, one of the best ways to enjoy the mountain is arriving easily by motorcycle and then walking down through the scenic trail, which allows you to enjoy the landscape in a relaxed and memorable way.

Totally recommend

We had unforgettable experience. Communication, transportation, the tour - everything was perfect and organized properly. And it's worth to mention our guide - such easygoing and friendly man, that helped us a lot and took care about every step. And the lunch was pretty good, that was surprising. I still can't forget delicious salad that I got there. It's worth to take motorcycle one way and go by foot the way back from mountain. Our guide recommended us that and it was the best decision. Motorcycle for one way costs less - 70 soles.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy everything was smooth and well organized—from communication and transport to the tour itself. Special thanks for mentioning your guide; we’re glad he took great care of you every step of the way. Elena, Great tip about going up by motorcycle and hiking back—this is one of the best choices to reach the mountain easily and still enjoy the scenic hiking trail on the way down.

Great value!

This tour handles all the transportation to and back from rainbow mountain. There is a motorbike option if you don’t want to do the 1 hr hike up. It gave us the flexibility to decide what we wanted to do after we got there. I would recommend taking the motor bike up and walking down to experience the beautiful trail leading up to rainbow mountain.

Operator response

Jiejun, thank you for sharing this experience with us. Something we highly recommend to our travelers is walking the 2.3 km downhill on the way back from the mountain. This way, you can enjoy an easier arrival and a more adventurous return.

Take the motorcycle, enjoy Rainbow mountain and walk back

Absolutely solid experience! We did this tour the day after climbing Machu Picchu so took the motorcycle option - best decision. Very well organised trip, comfortable, well paced and reasonably priced.

Operator response

Aishwar, thank you so much for your review. In fact, an easy arrival to the top and then walking the 2.3 km downhill is the best way to enjoy the mountain and its surroundings

We took the motorcycle tour then hiked 15 minutes to the top of the mountain and enjoyed the incredible view of this colorful rainbow mountain and red valley. Our tour guide was informative. Breakfast and lunch were delicious.

Operator response

Connie, we’re so glad you enjoyed the tour! We’re happy the motorcycle option made it easier for you to reach the mountain. In fact its 5 minutes to the official picture Point and 15 minutes to the top of the Top, the Viewpoint 5036 m.a.s.l to enjoy all the views. We hope to see you again soon on one of our adventures!

Excellent tour

This is an excellent tour. The pick up times were early and arranged the night before via WhatsApp. Was glad to leave Cusco early as it meant we beat the crowd at the mountain. Breakfast stop was halfway the trip up. We opted for the motor cycle option which is arranged separately when you get to the mountain and this was also well coordinated. The drive up was intense but safe and maybe 5 minutes. Note, the bike route is not the same as the walking route so you cant hop on a bike halfway. Well worth the 90soles return trip. The walk to the top after the drop off stop was 10-15 minutes but we did a slow walk up as the altitude really hits you. The guide provided us walking sticks which were handy. The views were amazing and we spent an hour to the top. Walk with cash for entrance fee, motor bike and tips for posing with the llamas. We waited roughly 5 mins for our bike driver but took in the views while waited. Freddy was our guide and provided great communication and information about the mountain. Wilfred? was also a safe driver. We stopped for lunch and then back to Cusco about 330pm. Tips - dress warm..very warm and walk with extra layers, gloves etc as it is super cold early in the morning. Overall, excellent tour and totally recommended.

Operator response

Thank you so much, Sarah, for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the experience — from the early pick-up to the scenic journey to Rainbow Mountain with the motorcycle expedition. Freddy and Wilfred will be glad to know they made your tour special. Your tips are incredibly helpful for future travelers. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure! Warm regards, The MC Peru Expeditions Team

An amazing and easy way to get to know the Mountain of Colors

We had an unforgettable experience with the easy tour to the Mountain of Colors of MC Peru Expeditions. Instead of walking for hours, we went by linear motorbike with a local driver, in the blink of an eye we were already on the mountain, we took the motorbike up and down walking the 2.3 km distance , it was a simple hike and we didn't miss anything of the road or the landscape.

Operator response
