Great! - Went to the rainbow mountains with this company. We were with 6 in total, picked us up from different hostels/hotels. De ride was fun, the guide told a lot about the rainbow mountain. Even got us some typical Peruvian bread to taste. Driver drove safely! 10/10 would recommend.

An incredible experience made magical thanks to Julio - With two friends, we hiked Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley accompanied by our guide Julio. It was incredible! Julio is a considerate, attentive and pleasant guide. You can trust him with your eyes closed. Thank you again for introducing me to a site like this Julio!

A colorful hike - A great experience that I highly recommend. We didn't expect to see such beautiful landscapes and with Julio as a guide, the hike was even more successful. Despite some problems with the altitude, this day was magnificent. Thanks Julie!!

First at the mountain - We were the firs at the mountain!! Our guide told us some fun facts about the mountain and the people and afterward he showed us red valley. He was very caring over my friends with altitude problems and very friendly in general. After the mountain we had a delicious buffet. Lets not forget to mention that the taxi we took had a lot of space and we could decline the seats, so we could sleep comfortably the 3 hours before we arrived. We were not with many persons so we did not have to wait to pick everyone up. Would definitely recommend.
