We were visiting rainbow mountain on the last day of our trip to Peru Our guide for the day was Jonathan. The hike to it was challenging for us as an couple cause of the altitude and we were tired as we were close to the end of our trip. But our guide really encouraged, motivated us and kept pushing us that we can make it. He gave us constant tips and we were glad that we were able to complete the hike and take back beautiful memories. Highly recommend and thank you.

Itinerary
The 7 Colors Mountain tour starts from the door of your hotel in the center of Cusco (historic center) and ends in the center of Cusco, Plaza Regocio or Plaza San Francisco. Between 04:00am to 04:30am we will be passing by the doors of your hotels, if you are in a remote area or airbnb we will arrange a meeting point to leave Cusco at 05:00am. Trip from Cusco to Cusipata: We will have a trip of almost 02 hours from Cusco to Cusipata, here we will have a delicious Andean breakfast. It is important to remember that we will be in a community far away from Cusco and we will not have the comforts of a city restaurant.
We'll embark on a nearly 2-hour journey from Cusco to Cusipata, enjoying a hearty Andean breakfast upon arrival. Keep in mind, we'll be in a remote community, devoid of urban dining conveniences. Following another hour's travel, we'll reach the Chillihuani parking area. The ascent to Rainbow Mountain will span roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes, leading us to the foothills of Red Valley, the gateway to the stunning 7-color mountain. Trekking along a trail, the scenery will gradually transform into vibrant mountains and babbling streams, breathing life into the valley. Should you find the trek challenging, horse rentals from villagers are available for approximately 70 soles. Reaching an altitude of 5200 meters, we'll behold the majestic 7 Colors Mountain, capturing timeless moments amidst its colorful landscapes. Our guide will offer insights on the mountain and guidance for those interested in visiting Red Valley (optional) before our return to the parking area.
We return to Cusipata, where we will enjoy an Andean lunch. 17:00 approx. We will be back to the city of Cusco. We will leave you in the Plaza Regocijo or San Francisco and we will finish our 7 Colors Mountain tour.

There is no way to describe so much emotion! No camera is capable of capturing the images that we see over there! Simply incredible!
Incredible agency! Super punctual. I loved it and recommend it.
I loved knowing this place, a picturesque setting, with the colors of the mountains, truly unique. I rode a motorcycle and didn't feel sick.
It was a nice experience and a very professional service from the agency.
Very nice experience! The transfer and the guide were very good. It is a demanding hike but very beautiful. It would be good to have another half hour to recover and climb to the top where better photos are taken. At least with my physical condition, I didn't have the breath to do everything so fast! Always bring coca and agua florida, it saves you!
Excellent experience!! My daughters and my son-in-law went up walking, I went up by motorcycle. The landscape both on the route and at the summit is beautiful! The transfers and the guide were professional with good and very punctual transportation. The mountain looks beautiful. The sky as blue as a background for the colors of the mountain was wonderful!
It was incredible!! It is very friendly for going with children because the climb was done on ATVs. The weather was very good, but the El Niño phenomenon made it unpredictable. It snowed 2 days before but fortunately half of the mountain cleared of snow and we were able to see it well.
The logistics of the visit are very well prepared, from the hotel pickup with a very comfortable Van, the guide very attentive, the site is very nice, the walk to the tip of the mountain where Vinicunca is located (Mountain of 7 colors) is very demanding, it is recommended not to do it immediately arrive in Cusco, they must wait at least 2 days to be used to the height and try not to drink liquor or eat heavy meals the night before, the hike is 3.5 km climb that are very demanding, the weather is very cold and with a lot of wind, they must be very warm and wear glasses and gloves, also wear shoes to not slip and be able to step on pools and stones, when reaching the top, the view is spectacular, maybe take time the line for photography but worth it, the descent is just as difficult as exhaustion is felt on return, I recommend to bring energy bars and water
I was worried about making this trail because of the altitude, but I was surprised! I was able to finish without feeling bad! The guide guidelines were essential and the help with the flowering water too! Rs Being acclimatized is really essential! I felt a lot of difference when I did the 7 lagoons, where I was only 2 days away in Cusco, when I did this, which I did after 5 days in the city. Breakfast and lunch very good too! We received a blanket from the agency in the van to cover ourselves as soon as the tour began, because it was quite cold, thanks for the care! I loved and super recommend.
The plan we acquired included climbing a stretch by motorcycle cart, then climbing the mountain on foot, which involves great physical effort..... But the final view, the mountain, the wasteland and in general the whole landscape is worth it. It's a wonderful place.
The whole course is an endless beauty! I went to the horse the first half hour for 70 soles and it was very worth it, but attention: give coke gum inside, take breaks if necessary, because if you don't have physical preparation, tired yes. Our guide guided us with the rests and breaths, very attentive. It was beautiful.
One of the most unexplained sensations I've ever felt was being on the top with an incredible vision. The process was extremely quieter thanks to the agency, translated, amazing guide, café da manha and lunch very good, there are no possible complaints in my head since it was all perfect. I recommend closed eyes
ドライバーとガイド、15人ほどの参加者でベンツのワゴンに乗り込みます。途中軽い朝食を取って山道を進み、レインボーマウンテン駐車場に。ここから頂上までは約7Kmのトレッキングになります。 別料金で馬を借りることもできます。頂上までのほとんどは、緩やかな上り坂で、ここが標高4,500mでなければ、お散歩みたいなものですが、クスコで高度順応してきたとはいえ、60際を超えるとキツイ...。グループから徐々に遅れますが、ガイドさんはグループのメンバーひとりひとりがどこにいるか常に気配りしながら見ていてくれて、時には降りてきて声をかけてくれました。 頂上までの最後の数百mは急な上り坂で、特にキツかったですが、ビューポイント、そして頂上に着いたときの感動は、素晴らしいものがありました。 登りではロクに楽しむことができなかったアンデス山脈の素晴らしい景色も、下りでは余裕で楽しむことができました。私たちより遅れた人もいて、全員が無事駐車場に戻るまで、ガイドさんはしっかり寄り添っていました。早めに降りた人たちは、ワゴンで休んだりお土産を買ったりできたので、文句一つ言わず、遅れて降りてきた人たちを激励・歓迎していました。 下山後、朝食を摂った場所でのランチ・ブッフェは美味しかったです。 早朝出発は少しきつかったけど、責任感の強いガイドさんのお陰で5,000mを超える頂上で素晴らしい景色を楽しむことができました。
Guide Ros was accurate in timing and, group management. He cared for all the members, who were comfortable and knew the difficulties that could arise on the tour. Thank you so much!!
The effort on the climb is worth it. I recommend 100% doing the climbing and descending on horseback to not get so fatigued in the end. On the other hand, 100% warm up from the cold in such height and patience to wait for the clouds to clear.
Perfect. Great driver guide. Van Nova. Pristissimo. Always safe. Go in confidence they are excellent. Attentive
Excellent care, in the archaeological areas the guides know a lot and explain very well, always punctual and attentive. The hotels also small but very welcoming and clean. P.S. if you are Mexican bring spiciness because here nothing is spicy 😬☺️
Excellent experience very good handling of the group by the guide. And they are very good prices as the same trip with other agencies was more expensive
Father, you have options to climb in case you can not walk, in our case we split and the guide guided us at all times. Spectacular views!
Beautiful scenery, punctuality, good guide and transportation, good food, excellent experience is recommended tour.
Unfortunately because of the weather and the height we did not get to see the mountain well but if we take a picture and enjoy the view, you have to have a lot of courage to do everything on foot, in my defense I got tired climbing the stairs to get to buy clothes and I took my horse, because I am not a person who loves trekking, gym or any physical activity 😅 but we will return when my bbs are bigger because I affect them very much the altitude as we do but super, chauffeur guide who was in charge of taking care of them while we climbed..
Exhausting experience but with the joy of arriving and seeing a great place. The mountain is amazing! The guide chosen by the company, spectacular. I recommend.
Despite being a month of rain, around 10am the sky was clear and the mountain could be seen. An amazing place you can't miss
My visit to the Mountain of 7 Colors was great, considering the climatic factor, it is strong the climb, however when you reach the top you thank all the effort to get there, very grateful with Machu Picchu Tours Agency.
Were very punctual, was well coordinated the weather, the guide supported us at all times to meet our goal, was very kind to us
The agency was spectacular! 100% recommended Customer service and the guide and driver of the la van very friendly, friendly. Making our experience unique
The tour agency super professional on time, the amazing guides, friendly with lots of service attitude. Wonderful foods
The tour to the Mountain of 7 colors was certainly the best experience I could have, the hike to the top with beautiful landscapes and reaching the Vinicunca mountain certainly leaves one more than delighted, our guide on this trip Carlos, is a plus in the tour makes it super bearable and makes you enjoy it more, also we take us to know the Red Valley which looks like a landscape taken from another planet. The agency staff always attentive, definitely super recommended!
We got the perfect weather thanks to the guide organizing the tour at a good time. It is one of the most beautiful places in Peru!
An amazing experience. Connecting with nature and the majesty of the mountains, is an experience I will remember all my life. Thanks to Machu Picchu Peru Tours for making it possible.
We did the mountain tour in four-wheelers, an amazing experience, the very friendly guide, everything offered was fulfilled, the only thing we didn't have much luck with the weather, it was very cloudy, it snowed and rained, we had to wait to achieve some photos with the classic view, we still enjoyed it and had a great time.
The plan was great! The pickup was super punctual at 4am in our airbnb, we left for breakfast in the Vinicunca Restaurant very rich buffet style. We arrived at the start of the 7-color mountain hike and took 11⁄2 hours, it is an excellent place and the Sandro Guide very pending everyone. We also spent a short visit to the Red Valley and returned to the minivan. We returned to the Restaurant and had lunch, again super good buffet style. We will repeat this and other plans with the agency, they are very serious, punctual and professional people!!!
Robinson took a lot of time to tell us all about Rainbow Mountain and the animals that live there. We also learned a lot about Peruvian culture from him. Just a great guy who can tell he enjoys what he does. The food was super delicious.
Just amazing, definitely a challenge that one has to set out to break, the help of our Guide Carlos "Parker" was the best, the information was complete and concise, despite being about 12 people was attentive to each of us.
Based on our excursion was very good, accompaniment at all times of the guides and super complete breakfast and lunch.
This place is beautiful, certainly worth the hike to reach the top of the mountain and marvel at its colors. Machu Picchu Peru Tours made this experience something very beautiful, we were picked up on time in a very comfortable van, as an agency they have very planned the tours and take into account the time so that you can enjoy the mountain (we went to the end of September and the Guide told us that at noon the mist begins to climb and in addition to being very cold, you risk not seeing the mountain so it is important that the tour starts early). Our Guide was very friendly and would stop along with the group when we needed to take a breath and continue the walk 🏃🏽♀️
We had intended to see the colors of the mountain but Mother Nature had other plans, instead she sent us the snow and I could meet her for the first time, it was something that I did not expect but ended up surprising me positively seeing those beautiful snowscapes, it is still a sign that Peru wants to come back with the excuse of seeing the colors of the mountain "tupananchis kama, añai. Vinicuca” until we meet again, thank you. Vinicuca
Excellent experience! Our Veronica Guide, was the best, very attentive, helped us and encouragement until the end. Excellent driver, very attentive same.
I did all the tours with this agency. The experience was rewarding, they make everything easy for the tourist, are friendly and answer all your questions immediately. Thank you. Beautiful places
Thanks to our guide Erick and our driver Fernando we really enjoyed our 7-color Vinicunca Mountain ride. Erick was very attentive and took many pictures of us. Very happy with everything! 100% recommended.
Everything very well planned I left for 10 days, it is a serious company and in which you can fully trust I went alone and the truth had some distrust but in truth they very professional and kind thank this company for helping me fulfill one more dream 🙏🥰 and that VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽
Sensational experience, unforgettable views. I would return without hesitation and recommend them for the service and attention they have given us.
All good. Although I really feel it is very expensive to go on a horse or motorcycle in both the colorful mountain and the humantay lagoon, I consider that people get a lot of advantage by using that service, in my case it was mandatory to have gone on horseback in both activities since I have asthma and it gets complicated
From start to finish it was perfectly coordinated, thanks to the guide Juan and the pilot Fernándo, my thanks for their patience and dedication.
The views were incredible and they gave us easy access to our Machupicchu Tours agency. The trip was a little long, but comfortable. We wish and pleasant lunches typical of the region.
