Beautiful and Breathtaking

Nicole_H, Sep 2024

This excursion was wonderful and the guides definitely worked to accommodate everyone even those that didn't pre-arrange to ride a horse. It is a mix of some people hiking and some people on horses to a point of where you have to hike the rest. However they separate the two groups. We took the horse and then finished the last bit with the hike. This was nice because we had plenty of time to sit at the top to enjoy the views, take pictures, etc. I saw a complaint about the van being cold but we did not experience that at all. I would say bring some warm gloves and a hat with layers because the temperature fluctuates. The place we ate breakfast at was cold in the morning but warm for lunch. However it was wonderful as there was a little shop there with reasonably priced items and I purchased an extra ear covering that was worth every penny and cute. I would definitely take this trek again and would very much recommend it. It was quite beautiful.

Rainbow mountain is beautiful but beware of this tour company

ChadRoberts, Jun 2023

Rainbow mountain is beautiful but I was really unimpressed with this tour company for multiple reasons. 1. The tour van did not have heat or A/C so we were freezing all the way there (3 hours) and hot on the way back. They don't seem to be concerned with customers comfort. 2. The additional expenses listed on the excursion is inaccurate. It says 10 soles but is actually 25 soles. 3. They book horseback riders and hikers on the same trip. So, if you ride a horse like me, you will be waiting hours for the hikers to catch up. It's extremely frustrating and inefficient. They should have two separate excursions instead of combining the two groups. I gave two stars because rainbow mountain is worth seeing, but I'd never use this tour company again.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

dear: Mr. Chad Roberts: We would like to help our travelers to understand a bit of the situation: 1.- the van is a 100% new van, Full air conditioned and the newst one (2023 version). You never asked for a heat or A/C. then this is quite subjetive and malisious by your side. 2.- About the aditional expenses, (Entrance to the rainbow Mountains), there is a cost that unfortunately we can not control, the owners increased the entrance rate after your booking, We advised you about it and you knew that the entrance got from 10 to 25 soles. 3.- you were the only one traveler that book a horse trip that day, We did our best to provide you the trip and acomodated to hire a horse for you unless the whole group decided to hike. We advised that the horse it is a help to clim the mountain, actually this is not a regular horse adventure, the horses are here to help people that get tired, that is afected by altitude to people taht feels the efects of the andes, the horses are not for sport at this place, they are to help you to climb the mountain. Even of that you took this as a horse sport spot, when we told you that that is not the case. Finally, We took you to the red valley because you request it to the guide, we didi it with no extra charge and especting to give our best for you. unfortunately you are not considering a lot of our work and empaty with you as a "solo traveler" with some specific espectations. We appreciate your review and of course will help us to improve ours services and hope that this will help to our travelers as well. Hope you are enjoing your solo trip. warm Regards.
