About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- cuongp4360 contributionsInspiring Experience in Machu PicchuOur trip was absolutely incredible and well-organized. A driver picked us up from our hotel drove us to a bus station. After two hour, we arrived at the train station. Upon arriving by train, our guide, Gregory, was there to escort us to a restaurant for lunch. After lunch we met him at the bus stop for Machu Picchu. Once we reached destination, Gregory guided us through Circuit 2. He was very knowledgeable, patience and a very good photographer. Thank you for taking us through this awe-inspiring monument.Written March 20, 2025
- 408taylam0 contributionsSuper Supportive GuideAlex was an incredible guide—extremely knowledgeable and genuinely helpful throughout our journey to Rainbow Mountain. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. We started with a well-planned breakfast break to break up the long drive, and then we hiked to the summit at our own pace. Alex was patient and supportive, staying behind with those of us who took it slower, ensuring no one felt rushed. His expertise and encouragement made the trek even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Alex to anyone visiting Rainbow Mountain—he’s the perfect guide for an unforgettable adventure!Written March 20, 2025
- c0rangelaa0 contributionsHike with Super Wally!Amazing Rainbow Mountain Tour with Wally! Wally was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and super motivating throughout the hike. He shared great insights about the area, kept us entertained, and made sure everyone was comfortable at high altitude. The tour was well-organized, with great food and seamless logistics. Plus, he took awesome photos! Highly recommend Wally for an unforgettable Rainbow Mountain experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Written March 20, 2025
- jennifermN9083EG0 contributionsIt was amazing!Our tour guide Wally made Rainbow Mountain unforgettable! They expertly led us up the challenging hike, sharing cool facts about the mountain’s colors and local culture. With great pacing, altitude tips, and photo ops, they kept us energized and safe. Highly recommend Wally!!! Our Hero!Written March 20, 2025
- Le T0 contributionsBest trip ever.We had an amazing 6-day group tour with Kantu Tours, exploring Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, and Machu Picchu. Cristian was our main guide for 4 days, Harold covered the Machu Picchu walk, and Javier led us to the wetlands. They were all incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, making the entire experience both enjoyable and educational. The drivers, Wilson, Eddie et al, were safe, attentive, and ensured we were comfortable throughout the trip. Our accommodations, which included breakfast, were good. While the wetlands visit was a bit underwhelming, Javier quickly turned things around by adding Tipon to the itinerary, which was a fantastic addition. Overall, a well-organized and unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!Written March 20, 2025
- carolinan6660 contributionsGreat Experience at VinikunkaThis trip is so convenient and we had a great experience. We hiked 4 kilometers to the top of Vinikunka and were able to see the 7 color mountain and scenery is breathtaking!! Well worth it! Our guide Wally was amazing! He kept an eye on us the whole time making sure we were doing good cause of the altitude of the mountain. The price of the tour was real good compared to other agencies. Highly recommended!Written March 19, 2025
- Michelle R0 contributionsWilbur was a great guide! He explained things and made sure everyone was taken care of! It was a beautiful experience!Our family would definitely recommend this excursion! The bus ride was 3 hrs, breakfast was ready as soon as we got there. It was delicious! Some people started the hike. We rode the horses(extra money) up to lake 1. We waited for the group and hiked the rest of the lakes. The horses were waiting for us at lake 7! Once all of our group got back we ate lunch. There were 4 choices for lunch. (Drinks cost extra). After lunch we loaded the bus and rode back the 3 hours. Our guide Wilbur did great providing explanations in English and Spanish.Written March 19, 2025

We enjoyed all the activities from start to finish! Day was long but memorable one! We took the sand as memory!! Translated everything very well in English! Super fun experience! Sand Buggy and Sand Boarding topped it off at the end! Boat ride to Nature Reserve was one of a kind, super fun!! 10/10!! Lastly, picked us up at the right time, no issue at all. Bus was air conditioned.Written March 19, 2025
- AleksisP0 contributionsThe Vinicunca the most challenging and the most rewarding hikeThe trip was amazing! It was possibly my the most challenging and the most rewarding hike of all times. I had had very little time to acclimitize myself to the 5000m altitude and couldn’t see myself making it to the top of the mountain, but somehow our guide Alex got me to go a bit further until I was there. Thank you!Written March 19, 2025
- 362abbyi0 contributionsColorful and amazingBreathtaking landscapes! Prepare your camera/phone for one of the best photos of this trip. Horses available to go up and down if needed. The guide Alex was very helpful.Written March 19, 2025
- minniez20200 contributionsRemarkable view and remembering experienceThe trip was very remarkable. Our tour guy Alex was very knowledgeable. He told a lot of stories around the area and history. He was very caring the whole group and took care of the sicked people. The rainbow mountain has unbeatable view. I would recommend the tour.Written March 19, 2025
- coolluke560 contributionsAmazing Views and Great ServiceGreat experience with Alex! He made sure everyone comfortably and safely made it to see the beautiful views, and offered an extra small hike over to Red Valley!Written March 19, 2025
- F1061JOlucasr0 contributionsRainbow mountainsAn incredible tour. Met some lovely people and got the best guide in the Industry, Pablo. What a guy! Funny, helpful and just a lovely person. Would definetely recommend him.Written March 18, 2025
- teppy830 contributionsExcellent all roundEdwar and Wilfredo were an excellent team. Edwar was extremely knowledgeable and kept up interesting conversation the whole time. He also made us feel that we could go at our own pace, which given the altitude, was much appreciated. And Wilfredo was a very careful driver, which cannot be taken for granted - we have been in some pretty ‘tense’ driving situations up in high mountain passes in Peru. Thank you both for an amazing day.Written March 18, 2025

Great day tour to Humantay Lake. We chose to hike and the hike was challenging but we were rewarded with amazing views of the lake and mountain at the top. Some people chose to ride a horse instead of hiking. Our guide Judith was good with time management and the breakfast and lunch buffet was delicious.

The lake was just beautiful and even more beautiful if you go the extra 100' up after you get there. The clouds parted and we were able to see the majestic Salkantay and Asungate? Humantay? mountains behind the lake. Spectacular.
The breakfast/lunch spot had some of the best food we ate on the entire 10 day trip to Peru. Nice variety, and lots of flowers decorating the walkway and restaurant.
Good hike with views all the way. My husband and I (63/58) hiked it with our 5 children, 3 spouses and a grandson (1) in a backpack. Got our passports "stamped" afterward which was fun.
Driver was excellent. Bumpy roads are not his fault and the van seats were comfortable. Not sure how the guide divides the tip, but I hope the driver got his share. A very long day with the drive. I wouldn't plan another long day right after it.

We were picked up in the morning at our Hostel and driven to the mega delicious breakfast buffet🤗
Afterwards we continued with our nice guide “Heber”, who was very friendly and not intrusive or annoying.
The lake was beautiful and the hike is completely feasible. We were up in 1 hour 👆
Lunch was then back in the same restaurant and again Mega generous and delicious 😋
The “Heber for ever” family was very fun and is highly recommended.

Difficult trail but the view is beautiful. Incredible! When descending there is also a risk of skidding. We missed more assistance from the guide during the experience, one person in the group fell and almost sprained her foot and the guide was not present to provide assistance. Could you provide more directions along the way...

We paid $25 for this excursion to Humantay Lake. Communication is via WhatsApp. The price includes breakfast and lunch buffet. Our guide, Werner, was very kind. He made sure everybody who needed help was taken care of. We paid 80 soles for the horse to hike up the mountain (which was totally worth it).
You don't have to pay more than $25 for this excursion (or to Rainbow Mountain). Book it with Chullos Travel Peru and you'll have the same experience as those who paid a lot more.
