Hands down one of the private tours we've done - My wife and I are on our honeymoon, travelling throughout Peru for three weeks. We booked this tour back in January of 2024 and have been looking forward to it for many months.
First off, there seemed to be some kind of dispute between the local leaders allowing access to Mount Vinikunka so our original tour was put into question. It just so happend that this dispute landed the day before we were set to start. The tour company was forthright with us and offered an immediate solution via the Palcoyo Mountain.
Luckily for us, en route with our tour guide Anibal and driver Victor, they recieved confirmation that we could access Mount Vin via another road. Success!
Anibal, our guide for the day, was such a pleasure to be around. He is funny, kind, and knowledgeable in his craft. We couldn't have been happier with how the day went. Being a private tour, we felt more secure going with our own guide at our own pace as the altitude is no joke! Again, Anibal was fully prepared, offering extra warm clothing like touques and gloves if needed. He had some spray that we would put on our hands and inhale rapidly to help with the altitude which came in handy. From the moment we were picked up to dropped off, we knew we were in great hands and will always look back on the day we got up to 5,036 m with a smile on our face.
This tour is a must for those who want a more personal touch to hiking up to Mount Vinikunka. Having gone through it, we feel it was worth every cent!
Thanks Anibal and Victor for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing Rainbow Mountain Experience with Reuben and Remi - We had the most wonderful experience with Ruben and Remi (our driver) for this trip. Yes the pick up time was a little early but so worth it for a tour like this because we were able to get up the mountain and beat a lot of the crowd. I honestly have never seen anything so beautiful in my life!! If you are somewhat in shape, this is a must to do in Peru and I would not recommend and other tour. Reuben was an awesome guide and so informative about the Peruvian/Incan history. We had a blast and felt well taken care of and safe the entire time! We also enjoyed the meals that were provided by the locals and all of thought it was delicious (definitely local food like quinoa and fresh vegetables). It truly was a great time moving our bodies and seeing such a natural wonder… but coming from someone who works out and runs frequently the altitude is real!
Definitely recommend lots of layers for this trip. It was very windy yesterday when we went so would also recommend something to cover your face so you aren’t getting dusty in your nasal passages and eyes!

Best time ever! - Annibal and the driver was a great experience.
They take care of you and value your time and money. I felt very safe regarding the fact that altitude was challenging there but Annibal was waiting for me and also motivating me.
Also very punctual which is very important as you wake really early up.
Best experience ever!
Thank you guys!

Great trip to Rainbow mountain! - We had a great experience on our tour! Anibal and our driver were very accommodating. We left at 4am and returned around 3pm. This was perfect as we had to catch a flight at 9pm out of Cusco.
We would definitely recommend Anibal and the private tour if you want to go at your own pace, fast or slow! We chose to ride up the mountain on a dirt bike and walk down.
The roads are narrow near rainbow mountain. Our driver was confident and was concentrated on the road. We never felt unsafe. Our driver was also very polite and always opened our door.
Breakfast, lunch, snack were included. All delicious.
Thanks Anibal!

Private tour highly recommended traveling with young kids under 5yo - If you planning to visit Rainbow mountain
especially with kids under 10 years old,
private tour is the way to go. This company
took care of us. Started at 03:30 took us
in a comfortable van with warm blankets on a 3 hour ride, had breakfast eggs, sausages western style mixed peruvian. Our tour guide made assured that had everything with them o2 tank, snacks, water.. Brought another guy just incase needed help with kids..
Thanks, everyone was okay tolerated
the high altitude. I've seen some hikers throwing up along the way, altitude was intense. If you've plans, make sure had enough time to acclimate, atleast 3-4 days in Cusco altitude sickness, no joke.. Drink a lot of water, bring gatorade powder, and bring meds such NSAIDs very helpful.. Horses are also available if needed one way or roundtrip.

Incredible Trip! - Our guide, Reuben, was so fun and personable! He knows so much history about the area and can answer any question you might have. He was also very patient and took a ton of photos of us. He definitely made our trip so fun and so worth it. Not to mention how stunning and beautiful the area is. Highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful! But don’t do a tour. - Best way to visit Rainbow Mountain is by taxi from Cusco! For 280 Soles the taxi will bring you and will wait for you to go back. If you leave around 08:30 you won’t be sharing the mountain with hundreds of tourists. (Most tours arrive the same time which makes it very busy, you’ll have to wait to be able to make you pictures). Don’t skip Red Valley, it’s a 30 minute hike from Rainbow mountain and costs 20 soles. At the top you’ll have a 360 view of Rainbow Mountain, Red Valley and surrounding mountains.
