Day Trip to Rainbow Mountain - Such an increible area of Peru, certainly shoult not leave Cusco until you have seen the Rainbow Mountain! The hike itself was about 1.5 hours due to extremely high elevation, dedinitely went a lot slower than normal. Jose was my guide and although he could have gone up much faster he maintained his pace to make sure that I was coping well. Highly recommend this tour!

Everything was exceptional - Jose is a wonderful guide. This trip would not have been so nice without him. He took care of every single thing. He briefed us the night before at the hotel on what to carry and what to expect which prepared us for the trek. It was a soectacular experience. The walk was somewhat challenging but Jose´s expertise made it easier.

None like Jose - I was so lucky to have had an opportunity of doing this tour with Jose as my guide. Jose is exceptional. He knew a lot about the trekking routes and the community and their history and culture. He never rushed us, he always kept to our pace and made us feel that we were doing well. A great tour leader I have ever had on my trip.

Safe and Friendly - They are absolute professionals who are well aware of the route and ways to recover from altitude sickness. Jose was our guide and he is a gem of a person. He kept us occupied with his travel experiences so we won{t feel the altitude. We are grateful to Jose and Andes Peru for making this a truly special one.

Super Amazing - First of all I would like to thank Andes Peru and Jose Ttito because they were only tour company in Cusco who offered hotel pickup. The tour was wonderful. The rainbow mountains were simply stunning. Jose is a marvellous guide with a lot of patience.

Jose for Rainbow Mountain Trek - Jose Ttito is the best for the trek, this is the recommendation we got when we were looking for a reliable tour operator to hike up the Rainbow Mountains. Jose himself guided us. This trip was just beyond our expectations.

Rainbow mountain trek with Jose! - Jose made this a wonderful trip. His efforts and dedication was impressive. We were a bit scared about the high altitude climbing and Jose did absolute wonders of making it an easier trek. The trek was organised extremely well. The food that we requested for was served. Just a mindblowing experience.

Rainbow Mountain Review - I thought this was a beautiful experience. Be aware that the colors have been enhanced in many photos online, but when the sun shines across the rocks the colors are definitely more visible. This particular tour was really great and totally worth it. It includes a nice breakfast, lunch and comfortable transportation. The tour operators are also very sweet and helpful!
