What people love about Rainbow Mountain Tours
- Ausangate Nevada & Rainbow Mountain Trek – 3 Days
We did a three day trek. Ausangate is very beautiful with high mountains, glaciers, pretty lakes and this colours. We came to Rainbow Mountain before the hords of tourists came. And also time to see the Red Valley which is beautiful as well. It was like a private tour. The cook, the guide and the horseman served us well, nice and a lot of food
This tour was one of the best adventures I had in my life. The guides Eduardo and Herman are kind, knowledgeable, and were always checking up on me since we were at 16,000+ altitude. They know the terrain very well and we’re giving me history and geography lessons on the trail. We shared many laughs and stories together. Our mountain cook Jaime cooked delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and was always offering me a hot beverage. Pedro our horseman always had my tent ready at the next camp! The sites on and around Ausangate are awe inspiring. There are way less trekkers on this trail than the others, so if you are looking for peace and calm, this is the trek to be on. We had to start very early some days and the. reward was seeing the crimson sky and sunrise. Overall this was a thrilling trek, one that tested my limits, and left me humbled and helped me define who I am. Totally recommend it to any adventure seekers!

"Rainbow mountain is incredible! 1.35 mile walk each way was not too hard, even at 17k feet.. Option for horseback or ATV. Spectacular views of Rainbow Mountain plus the valley and vistas of the glacier clad high Andes. Be prepared for 9 hour bus ride. Breakfast and lunch spot was not very good, worst meals we had in Peru. Might be worthwhile to pack your own. Definitely worth the trip to see this incredible geological phenomenon

"We had an amazing time hiking to Rainbow Mountain with our guide Nico; he was very patient and well informed about the area. The driver was great as well. Food and tickets were well organized; we did not have to stop as the other people did. We also arrived early to the view point, and we did not meet a lot of people, which was great to enjoy the tour as much as we could. 10/10 for these guys; it's worth it!
