I felt like the tour was rushed . I went with a group and the tour guide kept emphasizing when we needed to be at the mountain and when we needed to be back at the bus. I should have known better .you need to walk slow because of the altitude . Do not walk fast ive been on Kilimanjaro and guides explained that walking slow helps with altitude sickness . The guide didn’t give us any herbal remedies to help us or any tips to help . Give your self twos days before you do this hike it is short but the altitude is high the mountain reaches 5,000m I didn’t make it to the top one because I was in pain also because of the altitude. I do not blame anyone but I did 7 lakes trek the next day and was happy with the pace and he also gave us a herbal remedy to help with altitude sickness one fella fainted . I completed the 13k and didn’t feel any pressure form the guide to hurry up

Hola !!! Me llamo john chosec ( director operativo de LUAN TRAVEL PERU ) Pasaron muchos años para recibir este tipo de mal comentario, hemos estado tratando de mejor dia a dia !!! Parece que no hemos podido cumplir con tus expectativas y lo sentimos mucho !!! Esta semana santa solo tuve 2 reservas de viator ( quisera saber cual de ellos fue usted ) Si sentiste que la caminata fue muy rapida es porque la montaña de colores recibe al rededor de 5 mil personas cada dia !!! Y tratamos de llegar lo antes posible para que puedas tomar buenas fotos o al menos sentir paz en lo mas alto de la montaña 7 lagunas talvez 100 o 200 personas por dia hay puedes ver la diferencia y puedes caminar lo mas lento posible Solo te puedo decir lo siento mucho por no haber superado tus expectativas

Must do

Overall an experience you don’t want to miss. The pick up in the morning was a little disorganized and the van was driving in an inefficient way to pick up participants. The breakfast was very meager. There was a bathroom stop before going up to the mountain that you had to pay s/3. They did not give change. The road up to Rainbow Mountain is very rough. The hike itself is very difficult on breathing and heart rate. I kept my pace slow to manage my heart rate and breathing. Took periodic stops to rest. There were a lot of tourists. Once at viewing point…avoid most of the crowds and go all the way to the top. The Rainbow Mountain was magnificent to see. On the opposite side were mountains equally magnificent with glaciers. My guide, Alex, checked in on everyone and offered Peruvian natural oils to those who were having troubles. There was a bathroom on the mountain trail that was s/2. The descent was fast for me because I am in good shape. But once I returned to the parking lot…I got a headache and didn’t feel well. Altitude effects. Be aware and take precautions for this (coca leaves, tea, candy). Had lunch at the same place…it was just ok. Don’t forget to carry extra tissue to use at the toilets. Otherwise you have to buy a toilet roll. The ride back was again on very bad roads. We were stopped twice and had to wait for blockage to be removed. Our driver, Camella…was fantastic. It is a very long day and lots of time in the van being transferred for only 2 hrs at the destination. But worth the experience. Thank you Alex and Camella.
