Full Day Tour to The Rainbow Mountain from Cusco by Horse

El tour fue muy hermoso. nos acompañó un maestro de la ceremonia y nos hizo una ceremonia bolita para tener fe agradezcando a dioses.cuando lo reservé, también reservé caballos. Sin esperar pudimos tomarlo. Les recomiendo que tomes caballos, porque en esta época la mayoría de los momentos estará nublado. Disfruté del tiempo con caballo. El almuerzo estaba muuuuuy rico. とても素敵なツアーでした。祈祷師が同行して、私達の為に神々に感謝をする儀式を行ってくださいました。　予約したときに、馬も一緒に予約しました。スムーズに馬に乗れました。この時期では曇ってるときが多いので、馬に乗ることをオススメします。馬との時間が楽しかったです。昼食がとっても美味しかったです。

Excellent customer facing experience from Travel & Healing. Heads up highlight, this is meant to be an experience, not a regular "pick up, drop off" scenario. We had our fantastic guide Luz stop off our hotel the night before to facilitate a local Shaman blessing & set expectations for the next day. We were always taken well care of & were always safe. Beautiful experience. The only area for improvement would be in the horseback section. The community which provide those services are generous & lovely, but they kind of offer only a "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to saddles & horses. Most importantly, there needs to be a greater communication between the tour company & the native people providing the horses, since we were asked to pay for our ride even though we had previously paid upfront with Travel & Healing. Even though it worked out, we were waiting around afterwards making sure everyone was taken care of financially. Not a huge issue, just one that can be overcome with better coordination & communication on site. I definitely can say that choosing Travel & Healing added value to our experience to our trip & made the trek to Vinicunca all the more memorable.

Breakfast was a joke. 1 cold egg and a piece of bread. Took over an hour just to get started. 2 different companies used the same driver so we had to drive all over Cusco to different hotels to pick people up. We weren’t even picked up at our hotel and we had to walk to the bus. The bus driver didn’t even have a license for transporting tourists. We found out when we got to a checkpoint and the police told him he was wanted (had a warrant for his arrest) and the guides had to pay off the police to let him go. The bus was a Mercedes Sprinter. Comfortable enough on a paved road but when I was waiting to leave Rainbow Mountain I noticed that both right rear tires were completely bald!! We were hauling butt up a rocky dirt road on the edge of the mountain with shear drop offs just hours before. The ride back down was by far the most scared I’ve ever been. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 is our guide. His name was Willy and he was awesome. I’d reach out to him personally if I ever go back to take us on another tour.
