Magical scenery. Long day at high altitude
A long day from Cusco but absolutely worth it. Very high altitude and so hard work but absolutely worth it. The Magic Mountain views at the end even better than the publicity…

Rainbow Mountain.
The perfect trip, to the Rainbow Mountain where we had the best of days to know how beautiful this mountain is, and see all its colors firmly, with a very sunny day and get the best photographs to remember. I recommend it.

Full of snow
The very well-kept, on-time tour, very good breakfast and lunch, should include a soft drink at lunch. I rented CRESPIN, a horse was 45 minutes away, climbing to the top requires a good physical condition. The day I went there you couldn't see the colors, but it was Covered in snow and it was majestic.
Response from the operator: Estimada: Nangela2015 Muchas gracias por su comentario y por compartir su experiencia, la montaña de colores es un lugar único, se requiere de esfuerzo para poder apreciar toda su belleza e inclusive con algo de nieve, esta montaña tiene una belleza excepcional. Esperamos pueda volver pronto. Saludos, su equipo de "Rainbow Mountain Cusco" & "andina expeditions", operadores locales de la montaña de colores desde 2014.

It's worth it
This hiking is exclusive of a few agencies, as the majority travel the other side of the mountain which takes almost 2 hours of walking. It is worth walking less and arriving earlier, before the crowd of tourists and enjoying the empty mountain. The guide was very explaining and gave us enough time to take advantage of the place. The Enterprise was super punctual and offered very good breakfast and lunch.
Response from the operator: Dear Thais162: Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário, somos encorajados a continuar trabalhando nessa nova rota para o conforto de nossos clientes. Este percurso é praticamente exclusivo para a nossa empresa, recomendamos esse caminho para pessoas que não querem andar muito e conhecer esta maravilha da natureza. Sua equipe de "Rainbow Mountain Cusco" e "Andina Expeditions"

Rainbow Mountain Tour with Short Hike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Rainbow Mountain Tour with Short Hike cost?
+
Prices start at $175 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 with Short Hike take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 with Short Hike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 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 Tour with Short Hike?
+
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 with Short Hike suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 17. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 13-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain Tour with Short Hike?
+
Around 3 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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainbow Mountain Tour with Short Hike 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.
