          Great experience
          Amazing tour and it was not as busy in the off season! Many bathroom stops along the way (cost 2 soles each time to use - but you get toilet paper and running water!) Tour guides are good at making sure group is okay

          Magnificent
          I am not sure if this was the same tour I took from Lllas Inn where I was stayed. Absolutely fantasitc tour, they will pick you up at the hotel provide a blanket and two meals. Okay I speak very little spanish but the main guide Christian ( I hope the name is right:):) He specially translated for me in English and always helped me especially I was almost given up few times :):) He gave me an encouragement to go on so I did. He even helped me by hands . He took my photo that is the thing when you travel alone nobody would help to take my photo but yes if you asked then they will .Very friendly comfortable tour. On top of that it is worth clibing up all the way up to see this BEAUTIFUL NATURE. You deserved to see a beautiful earth because of our earth has been changing due to dlimate changing so better go book this one day tour and make friends . I made many friends even I could not make communicates but with heart!! It's a beautiful thing. Thank you Christian Thank you Monica Thank you to all!!

          Great trip
          Great trip. Well organised and great guide. Transport on time. The walk was quite easy but would recommend wearing sensible shoes or not trainers/ flip flops.

          Rainbow Mountain - Worth the hike!
          Rainbow Mountain is a must see in Peru! Never experienced anything like it. The hike is not for the faint of heart, but the views at the top were breathtaking and so worth the trek up! Anibal was an excellent tour guide and made the trip that much better! Highly recommend!

          Great!
          Tour guides were great! Mountains were beautiful! It's next to a glacier which was a nice bonus. The hike is challenging but doable.

          Nice views, less oxygen, horrible food, and a rough long ride
          We booked this one a week before we took the trip. This was not an easy hike. The terrain was OK but the oxygen level got really low as you climbed higher. The temperature also significantly dropped at the top. It got really windy. When we started to hike, it was warm and sunny with a little breeze at the base. At the, it was light snow, hard winds and cold. You can take a horse up and down. It was our second day in Cusco and we had serious altitude sickness while coming down. Also, the road to Rainbow mountain was rough. It was a 3 hour drive from Cusco. The last 1 hour to the mountain is a dirt road with a lot of holes. The agencies stop at the same place for breakfast and lunch which were the most horrible food we had during our 20 day trip in Peru. I did not even touch it. So, if you are up to see some great scenery, don’t mind the horrible food, long rough drive, challenging hike, and have an extra day, go for it.

          Knowledge and Compassion
          Reuben was very knowledgeable of the entire area which I found very helpful. He was also very understanding and compassionate to the guests. Victor was also an excellent driver for the day

          One of my favorite tours in Peru
          Rainbow mountain is definitely one of my favorite tours in Peru. Not only because of the amazing view, but also because of Anibal who's such an amazing tour guide!! He carried his secret refreshing oil which greatly helped ease our altitude sickness and vividly explained to us how rainbow mountain was fromed and discovered. He also helped us take tons of super great pictures with the beautiful views. It was such an unforgettable experience! I would highly recommend It to anyone!

          Rainbow mountain
          My friends and I booked this tour last minute and it was so worth it! Anibal explained everything so well to us and was a fun guide overall. He also had oxygen and scents which really helped with the elevation. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to go to rainbow mountain.

          Beautiful time at rainbow mountain!
          The hike was beautiful and relaxed, there is no pressing of time just make it up the mountain at your own pace. We had our hype man and tour guide Anibal to help lift our spirits and keep us going. He was amazing and kept checking in on how we were doing the whole time!

          Must do
          Wonderful tour well leaded by Anibal who took us through the unbelievable rainbow mountain. The trail is just amazing and the landscape will not let u down for a second. On top of that,having such a nice guide like Anibal is the icing on the cake.

        Part of multi day hike in Cuzco. Highly recommend Karikuy tours and Guide Gilbert.
        Recommend you do this at the end of your stay in Cuzco so you get acclimatized to the elevation.
        We took acetazolamide 125 mg twice a day which helped with high altitude sickness. Numbers and tingling in the face are common with this altitude.

        About 2 hour drive to Cusipata (3340 m). After breakfast came steep elevation. The road is unpaved and took 1 hour to the trail head Phulawasipata (4700 m).. The hike distance is about 4 km. The First 3 km are not steep. Horses are available for 80 soles for round trip which get you through the flat part. The last part is steep about 1 km if you want to get to the summit.
        The summit is about 5200 m above sea level (17,000 ft) which is slightly above the base camp of Mt. Everest. Our guide carried portable tank of oxygen. No one needed oxygen but it is common to feel the altitude effect. Drink plenty of water.
        The atmospheric pressure is about half of sea level with effective oxygen at 11% compared to 21% at sea level. The wind is strong and cold at the summit. It is worth a trip and you feel accomplished after finishing the trail.
        Vinicunca (mountain of colors) has been gaining popularity since 2010.
        We took the same path back. If you feel adventurous there is a longer trail (2.5 hours) back to the trail head which takes you through red valley.
