Highly recommend going to rainbow mountain

Chantal_M, Apr 2026

It was a long travel day, but well worth it once you get to the top of rainbow mountain. The views during the last hour of the drive are also amazing.

Rainbow Mountain- Cusco - 2024

Ali_A, Feb 2024

The most memorable part of our tour to rainbow mountain tour was the spectacular view of the mountain. Our driver, Benjamin, was very professional. He puts us at ease for entire trip to and back from the mountain, though part of the road was tough. Our tour guide, Tatiana, was courteous and a nice lady. I wish she would explain more about the mountain. We felt she was there as a babysitter not a tour guide.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you kindly for your review of your tour to Rainbow Mountain. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the view and your experience with your driver Benjamin. We are sorry to hear that you felt you were not given more information about Rainbow Mountain by your guide. We have passed on your feedback to Tatiana, and hope your review improves the experience in the future.
