Must go place. Better arrive before 9 am

Wonderful trip with the best guide Alfredo and driver Jaime. I feel sorry for my horse but it is impossible for me to walk so long. The last 30 minutes walk to the top took me one hour.

A unique experience

We went to visit Rainbow Mountain accompanied by our driver and guide Christian, there are only words of appreciation for the treatment, Service and quality of the visit. He picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel, guided us through the entire itinerary and helped us get through the climb to the top of the mountain. He is a lovely and experienced guide, highly recommended.
