“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…”

Review of Palcoyo Mountain and Stone Forests near Cusco, covering altitude, itinerary, transport, meals, costs, hiking effort, and practical tips.
“Wir sollten um circa 4:00 Uhr morgens aus dem Hotel abgeholt werden. Um 23:00 Uhr der gleichen Nacht schrieb man uns per WhatsApp, dass die Tour nicht stattfinden wird. Der angebliche Grund waren Straßensperrungen. Allerdings wusste sonst keine andere Agentur davon, auch nicht unser Hotel. Zum Glück konnte dieses uns spontan mitten in der Nacht in eine Alternative Tour zu den Regenbogenbergen hinzubuchen, so dass wir dieses Highlight noch miterleben konnten.”
