Rainbow Mountain has recently become one of the most popular one-day hikes in the Cusco region. With more than 5000m, Rainbow Mountain and the Red Valley is truly an unforgettable experience. Our tour is designed in a way that you will arrive at the top Rainbow Mountain when it is still empty, and we can have this place with few people.
Highlights of the Rainbow Mountain Peru
* Visit the Andean communities and interact with locals as you hike along with llamas and Alpacas
* Visit the Rainbow Mountain and Red valley in one day
* Arrive early to see this fantastic place with no people
* Picnic Breakfast and lunch at the base of Rainbow Mountain

The trip was excellent. The views were incredible. Our tour guides José and Sebastian did a wonderful job with our group. I would highly recommend this excursion.

We knew going into this hike we would be hiking with lots of people. Rainbow mountain has become increasingly popular over the years. Our mixed group of 18 made the 3 hour trek from Cusco bright and early with guides Wilian and Sebastian. We were rewarded with a beautiful breakfast from the famous and favorite chef Amilka. He was our chef on our earlier excursion and never ceased to amaze us with his cooking skills.
The hike up was tiring with the high altitude, and most needed a combination of ibuprofen, altitude pills, or coca candies. But it was certainly do able.
The views from up top were pretty sweet! Some chose to ride the motorcycles, but most walked. As much as I loved Rainbow mountain, Red Valley is what did it for me. The best part was that nobody but a few from our group were there. Seclusion is a beautiful thing.
After the hike we were once again treated to a lunch prepared once again by Amilka. Food was excellent! I would highly recommend Trexperience for their guides, service, and attention to details. They truly made our trip memorable.

Rainbow mountain exceeded our expectations we have seen many pictures but it blows you away when you see it in person. Our guide Nilson was awesome and went over and beyond to answer all our questions and made us feel like we had been friends forever. Trexperience is hands down the best guides to use in Cusco

We went with our guide Nilton with just me and 2 others and it was amazing. The cooks did an amazing job and the driver did a great job. Nilton is a great guide that I recommend for everyone. This was the most surreal experience I’ve ever had and that’s coming from the Inca trail as well. Definitely recommend!

Hiking Rainbow Mountain and the Red Valley trail is something our family will never forget. Our guide Gary and our chef Bertrand took excellent care of us! We had an amazing spread for our picnic breakfast and an unbelievable, hot meal inside a tent for lunch. How Bertrand was able to prepare such a meal outdoors without a proper kitchen amazed us. Gary is a fun and entertaining guide who is also supremely kind and considerate. He looked after each person in our group that consisted of fast hiking young adults and slower hikers. He took many photos and knew good spots for getting good shots. I highly recommend this all-day hiking trip!

Katia, our TreXperience guide texted us the day before and prepped us well before the trip and pick up.
We had a good nap in the comfy van after our 4am pick up until around sunrise where we started to discuss the landscapes, history and arrived shortly after for breakfast.
The TreXperience team setup and cooked us a wonderful breakfast in a quiet and beautiful area I believe 3,000m+ up.
We then did some breathing exercises, had some candies and prepared ourselves for the high altitude and short hike ahead.
***Warning*** I STRONGLY advise you are acclimatised to high altitude before doing this excursion. Spend a few days in Cusco and/or do this after other excursions like Machu Picchu.
Our guide helped us a lot with the hike as we took regular short breaks, did breathing exercises and overall it was a very enjoyable experience rather than intense as we got used to our blood oxygen being lower than usual and heart rates very high for walking up a slight uphill!
We had time for pictures on the hands and our guide took pictures of us with alpaca's and at the peak. She explained why and how the rainbow mountain was discovered and after we returned for lunch (same place as breakfast) we had another wonderful meal.
Specifically, I do want to call out how great it was to have Katia as our guide. There aren't many female guides doing all of the excursions in Peru and me and my partner were incredibly impressed with the depth of her knowledge and deep care for the people/locals that we came across and can help support.

We had an incredible day trip filled with breathtaking views and delicious meals! Our guide, Katia, was instrumental in helping us climb the mountain. She pointed out the best viewpoints and shared fascinating historical and cultural insights. Katia also taught us how to breathe properly and save energy to avoid any health issues, making it one of the most interesting and enjoyable day trips we've ever experienced.

What an amazing day! Knowledgeable guides, Katia and Toro. We felt very safe going in such high altitude. Katia shared about the history, culture and the mountain. It was really interesting hearing from a female perspective and we encourage other females to also become guides:)
Good briefing the day before. The early pickup at the hotel in morning worked really well. Safe driving by the driver Orlando and tasteful and amazing food, both breakfast and lunch by the cook, Sinchi. The meals were served in a beautiful spot before the rainbow mountain and tasted really good. There was a bit of wind when we had lunch, but that was not a problem, a tent was set up for us to enjoy the meal.
The mountain itself was amazing!!

An adventure excursion, where we were able to climb the mountain of 7 colors and the Red Valley. The breakfast and picnic lunch were unbeatable, with typical local products. The guide José did more than his share, because although it was quite cloudy and snowing, he went up with us to the Red Valley and there it cleared up and we could see everything. On this excursion, both the guide, the driver and the two local cooks were great professionals. A great way to spend a day of adventure!
