    Late start rainbow Mountain in red Valley – well worth it!

    Cynthia_S, Oct 2025
    We did the late start tour-which was difficult to find, that included red Valley. We chose to do the private one because we couldn’t do another 4 AM pick up. We are very happy we did this. It was just the two of us a Driver Fernando and our Guide Pablo from Apu. It was a quick smooth ride to go. We had a big breakfast before we left and they stopped at the restaurant. You’d normally stop at for lunch and breakfast and picked up a big lunch box for us for after the hike. About 2/3 of the way through the hike it started to hail and then by the time we got up to the top at the view point it was snowing. Of course this was no longer a rainbow mountain, but a white mountain. We waited a while though, and eventually, the snow stopped and melted, and we saw the beautiful colours of the rainbow mountain come out. we see the signs for beat the crowd all the time for the 4 AM tours, but those are the ones that actually end up with way too many people at the top. We maximum at any time so 20 people at the top so the late start is really the one that beats the crowds.

    Magical experience

    Great day in this magical surroundings ! We had a guide, Julio, that gave a lots of explanations and was were thoughtful with us. We were a group of 5, 2 decided to take the horse ride and the others walked. This enabled all of us to reach the mountains. We even walked to the red valley. Everything was very well organized, from pickup to breakfast, excursion, lunch and drive back home. I highly recommend !
