The rainbow mountain tour was fantastic! The guides were very patient at pickup as we were locked inside our hostel. They returned for us once we got out after picking up other passengers, which was a big relief! Gunter and Nestor were both great guides, with a lot of knowledge about the mountains as well as being very accommodating regarding the altitudes. They took the tour at everyone’s individual pace and did regular stops up the mountain so we could slowly adjust to the altitudes. We got there in good time before the crowds and then most of the group went to the Red Valley. This was not something I had planned on doing but I would highly recommend going when you are there already as the views were incredible! The drive to and from the mountain was also very scenic. Overall, would definitely recommend this tour for the views, experience and good vibes!

This was an amazing tour! It was worth waking up early to beat the crowds. As we were leaving, the top of the mountain was getting so crowded. We were able to enjoy the views and take pictures with very few people there. It’s a very, very beautiful hike. The hike is mostly flat until the end but challenging due to the elevation. The steep climb during the last 20-30 min or so is a challenge — take it slow. You may feel sick at the summit but there are vendors selling coca tea and snacks (bring soles). We skipped Red Valley because my friend was experiencing some altitude sickness. Dress warm with layers. We experienced freezing snow and wind along with warm sun during our hike. Erika was great! Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Breakfast and lunch were great too.
