Mega Expeditions is great! - After doing the 5-day Salkantay trek through Mega Expeditions and having a great experience, we booked Rainbow Mountain for the very next day after we got back. The very quick response time and extremely helpful and personable people working at Mega Expeditions made our experience with both trips seamless. Highly recommend!

Difficult and time-consuming, but it was worth it - Very satisfied with the service provided by the Mega Expeditions team. We took three tours with them and they all met our expectations. In this specific case to Arcoiris Mountain, congratulations to the guide Cézar. Despite the long distance and time to get there, it was worth it. We took the quad bike option and it gave an extra adrenaline rush to the ride, not to mention that we avoided the soroche due to the effort of climbing the mountain on foot.

A great challenge overcome - Having little time to visit and get to know Cusco was not an impediment to overcoming that "challenge" of climbing the Mountain. The Tour was very good from the beginning to the end, the food, the people and the guide (one note). The best part was, of course, reaching the top and getting that "famous" photo that we all want to have. Thanks to the "Mega Expeditions" team

Amazing few and incredibly helpful service - The day was well organized and efficient. Lots of communication and information prior to the day of. Our guide Erica was knowledgeable and very helpful. I lost my wallet at the mountain and she went back the next day and retrieved it from the local community. Mega expeditions, Nixon, then arranged to send it to my hotel in Lima. Great service, thank you Nixon! Amazing views, even if it was a cloudy day, totally worth it!

Best experience of rainbow mountain - After we booked this trip, I got a list of things that I should pay attention. The organizer even called me by himself to resolve my concerns about the safety. During this trip, the tour guider was always the last one to make sure all the team members were taken care of.the tour guider could speak both Spanish and English, which made my trip much more easier. The trip is wonderful. Thanks a lot.

Amazing experience hiking at Rainbow Mountain! - It was our first time doing a high altitude hike and we were very well taken care of by the tour guide Sonya. They gave us walking sticks and even took pictures of us at the top. It was a challenging hike mainly due to the altitude but it was really enjoyable. The breakfast and lunch offered was also good.

WOW! - Incredible day with Sonia our guide for the visit to the 7 Colors Mountain! There were a few clouds once at the summit but the road to get to the mountain is just as beautiful, if not even more so!

Very good guide - Lack of oxygen at high altitude should not be underestimated. We ended up taking horse ride for the last stretch. Our guide was really good. She took care of us very well. Vegetarian lunch provided could have been better.

Great experience, shame about the restaurant - Positive point: the organization and attention paid to the group. Our guide Eli was great! Negative point: As said directly to Nixon with whom we made the reservation, the quality of the food in the "buffet" really needs to be reviewed. We had digestion problems that lasted 2 days after this meal. The hygiene of the place does not help the subject.
