Unorganized
They said the would pick us up at our hotel at 4:30 am. They didn’t show up. After finally finding the agency’s phone number, I called and the guy said he would look into it. He later texted me there was a confusion and they could convert it as a private tour for $10 USD extra per person. (I think we should have NOT paid anything since it was not our fault). We had no other option and accepted it. It ended up being fine and our driver was very nice, we saw some alpacas on the road and he let us stop to take photos. I think the agency is kinda unorganized. Also, I called viator at 4:50 am when I noticed no one was picking us up and they said it would take 42 hours to solve the issue. We traveled to this country with a full itinerary planned, we could not wait the 42 hours. Lastly, I find it very annoying that Viator doesn’t tell you the name of the company or their phone number anywhere in the reservation.
Response from the operator: We regret what happened and know there are ongoing improvements we need to make. We appreciate your comment and feedback. The Family, RAP TRAVEL PERU

Colorful 🌈
The trip was long, but absolutely worth it. Our guide, Oliver, was wonderful — part mentor, part instructor, part encyclopedia, and definitely a source of inspiration. He accompanied our group throughout the entire ascent. The views were breathtaking, and while the hike was long, it was doable. Huge thanks to Oliver and to our driver, Ephraim — everything was truly fantastic!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your beautiful words! 🙏 We’re so glad to hear that the journey — though long — was truly worth it and that you enjoyed the breathtaking views along the way. Oliver will be thrilled to hear your description of him — mentor, instructor, encyclopedia, and inspiration — that truly captures his passion for what he does. And Ephraim, our amazing driver, will also be so grateful to know his work made a difference. It was a pleasure to have you with us. We hope to welcome you back to Peru for more unforgettable adventures! 🇵🇪✨ With appreciation, The RAP Travel Team

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The colors of the Andes:The Rainbow Mountain.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does The colors of the Andes:The Rainbow Mountain. cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 The colors of the Andes:The Rainbow Mountain. 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 The colors of the Andes:The Rainbow Mountain. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 29 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 The colors of the Andes:The Rainbow Mountain.?
+
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 The colors of the Andes:The Rainbow Mountain. suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 14. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book The colors of the Andes:The Rainbow Mountain.?
+
Around 10 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 The colors of the Andes:The Rainbow Mountain. 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, Excursion to Rainbow Mountain Full Day Optional Red Valley. 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.
