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!

Reviews
I had a wonderful time. My guide was amazing . Thank you for the fun experienced
Our family of 4 did this awesome day trip. It was an extremely long day, we started at 5:15am and got back to the hotel at 12 midnight. Our tour guide Luis was very attentive the entire time. He spoke excellent English and was always ready to answer questions. The pick up in the morning was very well coordinated and prompt. The bus was very comfortable, the wifi worked the entire day as did the charging port in the seat handle to charge our phones. This tour was THE BEST experience! The Ballestas Islands are beautiful. The tour operators ensured we visited a few islands to view so much wildlife. We saw sea lions, penguins, pelicans, and a million other birds. The highlight was the Huacachina dessert. The dune buggy ride was insanely fun! My 8 and 9 year olds loved it. Luis instructed us well to keep them in the inside seats and always wear their helmets. The driver we got was great! The sand boarding was the highlight for my children. And of course we waited for the gorgeous sunset to take incredible photos! We did have a toast with red wine at sunset and all in all we returned to Lima tired but fully satisfied. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wishing to make some special memories.
Fue una aventura increíble, los paisajes únicos y logística que vives en ese momento no tiene palabras, la logística muy bien manejada, largo el traslado pero se entiende por la distancia y creo que eso vale la pena, la guía Anayeli muy amable y carismática En general todo muy bien, muy recomendable Todo estuvo al 100
