Great tour and Yesi is an excellent guide
There are three Rainbow Mountains, and we visited the most popular one, which was understandably quite crowded. However, the colours were clearly visible and absolutely stunning, which was a big plus. Yesi was incredibly friendly, well organised and professional. The pick-up went smoothly, her instructions were always clear and well timed, and she made sure everyone kept up during the hike. Excellent value for money (5/5)! My only minor criticism is that Yesi could sometimes be a little too pushy in suggesting what to do next. I would have appreciated a little more flexibility to explore at my own pace, but this is a minor point in an otherwise excellent experience. Overall, highly recommended!

Rainbow mountain
This tour was an adventure for sure. The mountain was beautiful. If you are not used to altitude they have horses available. Yesi's upbeat and positive attitude made the trip.

Exhilarating experience to Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley
Good experience with Kantu Tours to Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley. Our tour guide, Yesi, was upbeat and accommodating to all participants. More archeological explanation would have been helpful.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! We’re glad you had a good experience with Yessi and enjoyed the tour. We also appreciate your feedback about the archaeological explanations—it will help us improve. We hope to welcome you again in Peru!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainbow Mountain Tour From Cusco - Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Rainbow Mountain Tour From Cusco - Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Tour From Cusco - Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Tour From Cusco - Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 178 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rainbow Mountain Tour From Cusco - Group 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 Tour From Cusco - Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain Tour From Cusco - Group Tour?
+
Around 62 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainbow Mountain Tour From Cusco - Group 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, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), 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.

+

What languages is Rainbow Mountain Tour From Cusco - Group Tour offered in?
+
