Important information

Know before you book

  • Rainbow Mountain Travels try to be as flexible as possible when it comes to changes or cancellations CHANGES ARE FREE:Any changes to the tour date need to be done before 6:00 pm the day before the tour begins
  • NO SHOWS OR CANCELLATIONS:If you cancel the day prior to the tour before 6:00 pm Lima time or earlier, a 20% administration fee (+ the card fee) will apply. After this time, you are considered a no-show and there are no refunds as unfortunately its too late for us to sell your seat on the bus.
  • WARNING – Informal Cusco Operators: When being picked up, check with the guide to ensure your name is on their list. Many local companies go to hostels and try to persuade you to go on their tour even though you have booked with Rainbow Mountain Travels, and then charge you later in the day. Rainbow Mountain Travels is the best rated company for a reason!

Know before you go

  • Bring Passport
  • Bring comfortable trainers/shoes for walking in
  • Bring water
  • Bring small backpack
