Mountain of Seven Colors: Spectacular landscape and complete tour with guide Roberto
Visiting the Rainbow Mountain in Peru is a spectacular experience. The visual of the mountain's mineral stripes forms an impressive contrast with the valley and the snowy peaks around, yielding excellent photos and a truly impressive view. What made the tour even better was our guide, Roberto. As a resident of the Andean communities and a Quechua speaker, he added a lot of local knowledge. During the hike, he played the flute and sang a traditional song in Quechua, which brought a lot of authenticity to the tour and was one of the highlights of the day. The structure offered is also very well organized. The itinerary includes a breakfast in the buffet system, which is essential to provide energy before the climb, and a lunch also with a full buffet upon returning from the hike to replenish energy with quality food. I highly recommend the tour, both for the incredible beauty of the place and the great facilities, as well as for Roberto's excellent work.
Incredible mountain and an exceptional guide!
Incredible trip! We left Cusco at 4 am and returned around 3:30 pm. The agency organized everything very well: the transfer picked us up punctually at the hotel and we had a stop for breakfast on the way there and for lunch on the way back. The buffet was excellent, with great variety and very good food! The mountain is wonderful! We did both the ascent and the descent walking the trail, while other people in our group opted for the motorcycles. Our guide Roberto was very attentive and caring with everyone. Besides, Roberto was one of the best guides we had during the trip! Very nice and welcoming. Besides teaching us about the mountain and the local culture, he also gifted us with songs played by him on the flute and taught us some words and phrases in Quechua. Made the experience even more incredible! Our thanks to Roberto and the entire team. We highly recommend!
