Traveler reviews
7-Color Mountain with Roberto
Delighted to do the route with Roberto. In addition to being a good guide who suggested (for my parents) going up by motorcycle and walking down, he took some spectacular photos of us. And he was attentive at all times to ensure we were doing well given the altitude of the mountain.
Quality and excellence
It was a very nice excursion and the guide treated us very well. He cared a lot about everyone and was very considerate
Rainbow mountain
It was a really good tour that I would highly recommend. They provide food before and after the hike which is really good cause you have to wake up early and then feel exhausted and hungry after the hike. The guide even provided us with walking sticks, which helped a lot. He offered to take pictures of two of us. However, the tour advertised that we will be picked up from our hotel, which didn't happen in our case. Although our hotel wasn't accessible by car, they could've chosen a closer pick-up location at least. Another slight issue was although we were given a meet-up spot, it was a huge square and we had to message the organisers for some time before they got back to us saying they'll be there in 2 mins, which was later than agreed.
Excellent Guide!
Excellent guide, the vehicle was new. Overall very good.
Survived Painted Mountain trek
It is a long 3+ hours trip from Cusco but once you get to the top of the mountain the views are awesome. I would highly recommend paying for a horse unless you’re under 30 and very fit. The altitude affect is significant
