If you’re planning a hike to Rainbow Mountain in Peru, here are some tips to help ensure a successful trek:

  1. Acclimate to the altitude: Rainbow Mountain sits at a high altitude, so it’s important to spend a few days in Cusco or another high-altitude location before attempting the hike. This will allow your body to adjust to the lower oxygen levels and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
  2. Stay hydrated: It’s important to drink plenty of water before and during the hike to avoid dehydration. Bring enough water with you, or consider purchasing water along the way.
  3. Dress in layers: The weather in the Andes can be unpredictable, so it’s important to dress in layers. Bring a waterproof jacket, warm layers, and sun protection.
  4. Take it slow and steady: The hike to Rainbow Mountain can be challenging, so it’s important to take it slow and steady. Take breaks as needed and listen to your body.
  5. Bring snacks: Bring plenty of snacks to fuel your hike, such as trail mix, energy bars, and fruit.
  6. Book with a reputable tour company: It’s recommended to book a tour with a reputable company that provides a knowledgeable guide and ensures responsible tourism practices.
  7. Respect the environment: It’s important to practice responsible tourism and respect the environment. Stay on the designated trail, pack out your trash, and avoid disturbing the natural surroundings.
  8. Bring cash: Bring cash with you, as there may be opportunities to purchase souvenirs or use the restroom along the trail.

By following these tips, you can help ensure a successful and enjoyable trek to Rainbow Mountain in Peru.

Rainbow Mountain Trek

Visitors to Rainbow Mountain should keep in mind a few important tips to ensure a successful trip. To avoid crowds, consider hiking up the hill behind the first vista point for less crowded views. It’s also recommended to leave early, with the earliest tours departing between 2-3 AM, to avoid larger crowds. The weather at the summit of Rainbow Mountain can be unpredictable, so be sure to pack a windbreaker and sunscreen in case conditions change. Additionally, it’s important to listen to your body and rest as needed during the hike, as Rainbow Mountain’s elevation is higher than that of Cusco.

Maras and Moray + Pachamanca Easily the best tour experience I had during my trip to Peru. I highly recommend Kondor Tours as the customer service is top-notch. James responded to my queries almost instantly each time and was very helpful. We were even treated to a can of cusquenia beer each when we visited the office! Our guide Alfredo was absolutely amazing and we were fortunate to have him as our guide for the tour. He is very passionate about his job and shared so much valuable information with us. He has a very candid character and we were very comfortable throughout! I highly recommend requesting for him as your guide (the best we had while touring Peru for 3 weeks). Also, I would say opting in for and additional traditional peruvian pachamanca meal experience must not be missed. The community people were very warm and gracious hosts and it is eye opening to witness the preparation of such a traditional feast normally done only for special occasions like weddings. We even had time for dancing! Two thumbs up for sure!

3-day Choquequirao Trek We took a three-day private group trek to Choquequirao as a family of five. Kondor Path Tours organized a pick-up and drop-off in Urubamba instead of Cusco and did an extra stop at the Saywhite archeological site. Everything went very smoothly during the entire trip, meals and accommodation were as expected or better. The trek itself is quite demanding (particularly in three days), but the nature/ views/ Choquequirao/ dearth of tourists largely compensate. Anyway, we were looking for a physical challenge! Our guide Oron was great. Explaining, motivating, solving potential problems/ demands. We would definitely recommend Kondor Path Tours.

Proffecional company and perfect guide Kondor Path Tours are so proffecional and easy to work with. We went with them on the 2 days short Inca trail to Machu Picchu with our three children. The correspondence was great and everything was perfectly planned in every detail. Our guide Alfredo was so friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant to be around! Thank you Kondor Path Tours - we couldn’t have asked for more!!

Trip to Rainbow Mountain Excellent experience!! Our guide Odon was prompt with pickup time and extremely friendly. The drove to rainbow mountain was smooth. We did the horseback ride up the mountain, and Odon was right there with us. The actual hike up, he provided support, laughter, and information about the region. Amazing experience with an awesome guide. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Alittle bit of everything We had a last minute change of plans when it came to our tour. We were supposed to visit the rainbow mountain but with the recent protesting we called to see if we could change last minute and they were very accommodating. Odon and Fernando were amazing! They took us to see multiple attractions and made us feel very at home. And kudos to Renee for the amazing driving. I would highly recommend using this company for a tour. We will definitely use them if we ever come back!

Family vacation Kondor path tours arranged a couple of private tours on our last vacation in Peru. Our first tour was the Rainbow Mountains and the next day we did the sacred Valley Tour. The administrative services were excellent, we met at our hotel the day before our tours and our head guide, Fredy, explained everything perfectly, including what to wear and bring for each tour. On the tour days, our guides (Fredy and Juan Carlos) and driver (Juan Carlos) were great! very knowledgeable, considerate about our party, always helpful and ready to answer questions and meet the expectations (completely different expectations because we had different ages in our party (from 11 to 69 years)) of each party member. The rainbow mountain is awesome and is is really helpful to go with a guide that knows about the area, but also about hiking!!!

Excellent guide who stays with you for the entire day The Vinicunca one-day horse tour was fantastic. The friendly and informative Freddy guided us for the entire bus ride and mountain trek. He knew where to stand to get the best photos and made everything fun and accommodating. The horse ride up made it much easier to enjoy the final hike. Lunch was large and tasty. Door to door service.

Awesome Service and Tours Fernando and Patricia were SUPER responsive - usually responded to emails within 10 minutes!!. The arrangements they made for Cusco, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, and surrounding areas were awesome. They were waiting for us at the airport and did everything we asked them. Our guide for the four days was Herberth and driver was Juan Carlos. Both were SUPER SUPER great. Juan Carlos was such an amazingly pleasant driver with cute stories. He also was a very safe driver. Herberth was very knowledgable and helpful. Took us all over the places with details about the history and details. We had friends who were not able to climb much and they accommodated us all. On the day we had planned to do rainbow mountain we did not feel great and emailed Fernando at 5am and he responded within 5 minutes with other options for us to do that day. Overall, if you are going to Peru and want to visit the historic sites, you SHOULD go with these people. They are SUPERB!!
