Palccoyo Hike Day - Jose was a phenomenal guide. He was knowledgeable and super friendly. The hike and the sights of the mountains were beautiful and worth the ride outside Cuzco. The breakfast and lunch meals were amazing as well. There was a group of 8 in our party and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We highly recommend booking this tour.

Incredible experience at Rainbow mountain Palcoyo - We received an outstanding service from both the guide and driver. The tour was just incredible, better than the expectations. The hike is not hard,but with the altitude I struggle. The guide was very helpful and patient. At the top, the view of not only the rainbow mountain but the other was fantastic. The breakfast and lunch were fine. Thanks you for the memories!!!
