Great at the Rainbow Mountain - I was at Rainbow Mountain in December 23, 2022; it is an amazing experience. The organizer was Claudia who did an outstanding job. Before we arrived Cuzco we she organized the the tour four days and five nights. The last day was at the Rainbow Mou1ntain. Claudia recommended to do it at the last day in Cuzco. She said that our body might get used to the altitude in Cuzco. And that happened and we were ready to go the Rainbow Mountain. She also mentioned to walk slowly, and to stop when it was necessary. I am not a young man (and I am Literature professor) and thanks Claudia's recommendations I did not have any inconvenience with altitude and a great experience. All the other tours organized by her were great too; Machu Picchu, Ollaytantambo, Moras, the tour in the city of Cuzco. If you go Peru, really really you should go the Rainbow Monuntain. If you need you a good and honest do not hesitate and try to contact Claudia at 51 984 772 176; enjoy

Palccoyo Mountain - an alternative to Rainbow Mountain - We actually did a private tour of Palccoyo Mountain, as an alternative to Rainbow Mountain and are so glad we did. The landscape is just as beautiful, but the hike is not as challenging and the altitude not as high, which we appreciated as we we just coming off the 4 Day Inca Trail hike. In addition, there were maybe 50 other people there, versus the thousands typically at Rainbow Mountain. Edward, who was one of our guides for the Inca Trail accompanied us on this tour as well. We enjoyed spending more time with him on this tour and learning about Palccoyo. We had a nice breakfast a cute local spot on our way and returned there after our tour for lunch. Highly recommend as an alternative to Rainbow Mountain.

One of a kind hiking experience! - My sister and I did this as our last full day of our week in Peru. It was our overall FAVORITE day of the week! We had an early pick up from the hotel, drove to Rainbow Mountain, hiked a couple hours to the top, took fun pictures, and rode horses down. We packed some coca tea with us to help with altitude. This was such a unique day, memorable experience, and amazing way to end our trip! I’ve hiked all around the world and never seen anything that looks like Rainbow Mountain. Willy was our tour guide and we loved him. He has a lot of knowledge, good sense of humor, and is a very caring and personable guide. Highly recommend!
