What To Expect

This amazing tour begins bright and early with our private transport picking you up at 4am from your hotel. Rainbow mountain Peru, also known as Vinicunca is an undiscovered land full of wildly desert landscapes, snow-capped glaciated peaks, herds of alpaca, and pristine beauty. Throughout your journey you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain towering in the distance. You will experience first-hand how locals live in the mountains and even see them hard at work. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the Rainbow Mountain; and finally, on the last push, you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360-degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up the sacred land. You have made it to the ultimate destination – The painted hills hidden deep in the Andes. We’ll have you back around 7pm ready for dinner and full of appreciation for what you have experienced during the day.

We did hiking tours, walking tours, cooking classes, and nature and wildlife tours. This was, by far, the most fantastic trip I have experienced. Abraham was so knowledgeable and shared so much knowledge. He was full of LOVE and life for Peru. I appreciate how caring, thoughtful, and a TRUE gentleman. He is definitely a friend for life 💙….. I did Rainbow Mountain in an ATV; although the hike was grueling due to the Altitude, our guide, Abe, was excellent. He encouraged us all the way and kept pace slowly to match ours. Wonderful experience. Take his tour; you will be satisfied. This Rican Jersey girl was just in awe of Peru. I give him and his WHOLE crew five stars...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing adventure & spiritual experience

We explore the Rainbow Mountain with ATV ride, filled with twist and turn up the mountain and spectacular views along the way. Once arrived in the top, the Rainbow Mountain awaits us with colorful views, nice breeze and warm sun. Abraham, our main guide took the time to explain in details about the rock formation and Inka history before getting everyone to get the ultimate solo shot and group pics. This trip is a lot of fun, filled with adventure and spiritual meaning. Definitely a 5 Star experience and 2 thumbs up 👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Noé is the best guide I’ve ever had

I can’t understate it: Noé MADE our trip to Peru. Not only did he plan and facilitate a remarkable excursion to Rainbow Mountain, but he also led our group to Santo Tomas for the Takanakuy festival and connected us with a cooking class in Cusco. Noé was incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, flexible, and kind. The things that made him exceptional, however, fell in between the lines. Noé thoroughly impressed our group by anticipating needs we hadn’t even thought of. His referrals were consistently best in class. He did everything he could to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime when visiting Peru. My only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time with him.
Perfecto

Abe was a professional and experienced guide who was very knowledgeable about the local land culture and people. Would highly recommend his organization to anyone looking to learn more about Peru.
