This was a very well planned, well executed excursion that included both breakfast and lunch. Suffering from altitude sickness made hiking rainbow mountain impossible, so having the motorbikes take us up was amazing. The guide was kind, knowledgeable, and very attentive. Definitely recommend!

Peru stopover

andrew_c, Sep 2025

Basic food given and have to buy drink with lunch bus journey back was far to hot even with air-conditioning however actul trip was amazing and so easy on motorbike

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for taking the time to write to us. The food is usually offered in a basic way because at higher altitudes, a lot of food is harmful. Your comments help us improve every time. Thank you very much.

Just Ok experience

Michelle_M, May 2025

Rainbow mountain was nice we took motorcycles up and even though it was foggy we had a good view and nice experience. We did however feel that we were merged with another group. We were signed up for 3:30 pickup and were told night before 4am. Then we were supposed to have max 13 but was more like 19. Only a few of us took motorcycles and the rest walked which meant when we were done we had to wait over an hour for everyone to come back down and we had nothing to do but sit in the van. I read reviews where the guide was great and informative. Ours didn't say a word on the trip, was gruff and went off with the people hiking and left us with the driver. Because we had to wait for the people walking we got back late into Cusco. The trip was 10-11 hrs est but took longer. On the other hand our driver Raul was very nice.

Response from Host, May 2025

My dear Michelle, thank you for taking the time to write about your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for what happened. We will improve everything mentioned above. We will be more careful not to mix those who walk and those who ride motorcycles. A thousand apologies.

Awesome experience!

Rogelio was great. He even picked us up 2 hrs later upon request. Very accommodating and friendly. Very punctual also.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you very much, we always accommodate our clients' demands, greetings

Stunning way to journey to Rainbow Mountain

Tori_Q, Feb 2025

I absolutely loved this small group tour. By taking ATVs up the majority of the mountain, we got to see so much of the countryside and acclimatize gradually. Our guide, Rogelio was fantastic.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

thank you so much

Rainbow Mountain Tour with Rohelio

Lida_M, Feb 2025

Rohelio our tour guide was amazing! We spend 11 hours together and did the rainbow mountain. He prepared us for the altitude by informing us to drink coca tea, and kept us safe while we were hiking the trail. During our six hours in the car he gave us constant information about the Inka people and the surrounding areas as we traveled. The dirt bikes were a fun experience to get most of the way up the mountain. Lunch was great too. Rohelio helped us multiple times with altitude sickness and he was prepared with smelling oils which helped us. 100/100 amazing experience!
