Rainbow Mountain
We booked a private tour to Machu Piccu and Rainbow Mountain with Machu Piccu Peru Travel. We arrived two days before our trip to Rainbow Mountain to Cusco. Tania made a super effort in coming to our hotel to meet with us and explain how the days would go. She was very accommodating when we asked to borrow a walking stick for my father-in-law and always so pleasant and accommodating from my very first outreach. We were privileged to have Willie as our tour guide both days. Willie is the best as what he does. He made sure we got to see the special places and breath taking views. We felt like we have been friends with Willie for years. Celestino was also our driver both days. He’s also did a super job in driving us safely to our locations and making sure we were always okay. If you can afford to spend a few extra bucks, I highly recommend taking the private tour, getting the horse (if you’re not an avid hiker), and hopefully you get Willie. P.S. The faster you get up, the less crowded it is and the more you get to absorb the moment and the view. If you decide to get the horse, please don’t forget your tour guide, otherwise who would help you get the best photos and special views.
Response from the operator: Amar, thank you very much for your comment we really appreciate the time that you take to leave us your appreciation I hope to see you again in the future. kind regards from Cusco

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainbow Mountain 1 day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Rainbow Mountain 1 day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rainbow Mountain 1 day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Rainbow Mountain 1 day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rainbow Mountain 1 day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rainbow Mountain 1 day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain 1 day Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainbow Mountain 1 day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
