Review of Cusco’s Rainbow Mountain tour: high-altitude hike, meals, bilingual guides, transport, costs, route concerns, and practical tips.
“Everything was very good. I enjoyed the trip, I got the chance to do nice pictures and the food was good as well! Thank you 🙏”
Review of Cusco’s Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley trek, with route details, altitude advice, meals, costs, guides, and practical tips.
“Escursione? Sostanzialmente è stato un servizio di transfer. Nessuna spiegazione dalla guida che non ci ha seguiti durante il tragitto. Inoltre, si è persa un turista causando un ora di ritardo a tutto il gruppo. Infine, non è stato dato il tempo per visitare la red valley.”
Review of Cusco’s Rainbow Mountain trek: high-altitude views, transport, meals, guides, costs, walking demands, and practical booking advice.
“Es war ein guter Ausflug, allerdings habe ich die Beschreibung missverstanden, ich dachten wandert ca.3 h hin un 2 h zurück, es waren aber nur 3h insgesamt zum Wandern. Außerdem hat mir die Information gefehlt, dass man zum red valley auch noch gehen kann für 30 Soles zusätzlich. Hätte gerne mehr Zeit gehabt am Vinicunca und Red Valley. Ansonsten hat aber alles gepasst.”
Review of Cusco’s 4-day Inca Jungle Adventure with biking, rafting, ziplining, jungle hikes, hot springs, and Machu Picchu.
“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”
By the kind of day you want, or the country you are standing in.
