Great experience, guide felt in a rush to get us up the mountain and down.
The tour was very good. We had a guide, Aníbal, who was very attentive and friendly. He explained everything to us in great detail and looked after us throughout the entire trip. The ATV experience was fine, although it is worth noting that everything is controlled (you cannot pass or go alone). So do not consider it an extreme sport, but rather a unique experience to go up to the mountain of colors.
I suggest going to the quad-cycle mountain. High altitude can cause headaches, tachycardia and shortness of breath. Very kind and solicitory guide.
For me, it was physically demanding being at high altitude at 5000 m is not easy for everyone. I would recommend taking altitude sickness medication’s, which I didn’t. The tour itself was outstanding, perfectly organized, the lunch and breakfast were top quality. Dani, our guide, was caring and attentive to all my needs. He bought me a bottle of water if he’s own expense when I ran out.! :) I highly recommend this store to everyone. The Rainbow Mountain is the second most popular attraction in Peru after Machu Picchu. It is a must visit place.!
THE GLOVES ARE SUPER SUPER NECESSARY AND IT'S BETTER IF THEY ARE DOUBLE. The tour starts very early in the morning and you will be on the bus for quite a while; the total time on the ATVs is 40 minutes. We liked it; we thought it was good because in the morning the weather and the ground are frozen, and using your hands is very cold. Very good and complete buffet breakfast and lunch!! I recommend taking the 3 AM tour so you don't have much traffic and have time in the mountains without too many people.
Super great day. Everything perfectly organized, the ATV ride was very safe and controlled. Only the food (breakfast and lunch were just okay, but that is usually the case with this type of day trip).
Rainbow mountain was great. Worth it to go up the harder way. The other views around rainbow mountain were beautiful. ATVs made it nice. Wish the ride was better though.
Great communication, great support and great time. Our guide was fantastic. Very supportive and had us take our time
We had an amazing time on our tour with Jose! He was very enthusiastic and encouraging and also very clear with instructions. The food was the best we’ve had on this trip! Overall a great experience that I would highly recommend!
Our tour guide was quick and fast he helped out so much and took a ton of photos. The breakfast was a bit underwhelming but the lunch was amazing.
