- D1699WNrebeccas0 contributionsBreathtaking views!!As I was on my first solo trip to Peru, doing this excursion was at the top of my list! For all the accommodations and transportation the price is a great deal. Our tour guide (Super Wally) was responsive, helpful and overall wonderful. He communicated with us the whole time about our itinerary and the history of Rainbow mountain. He made sure no one was left behind on the trek and checked in numerous times to ensure I and others were okay. The views were breathtaking both literally and figuratively if you're not used to high altitudes but absolutely worth it!! I would recommend both Wally and Chullos Travel Peru if you plan on visiting Peru! 😁Written 7 February 2025

- normancI4223ZB0 contributionsAn unforgettable adventure and highly recommended to everyone visiting the high mountain area at PeruWe joined a private tour taking the risk of unpredictable weather. We paid for the return horse ride from the car park to the top. The morning was great and we took a lot of beautiful photos. The weather changed late morning with snow and freezing winds. It is an unforgettable adventure for us and highly recommended to everyone visiting the high mountain area at Peru.Written 3 February 2025

- Explorer088839707150 contributionsOverpriced, Mismanaged, and Unacceptable Behavior from GuidesI paid over $1600 for a tour package with Chullos Travel Peru, expecting a high-quality and professionally managed experience. However, what I encountered was a series of unacceptable issues that made this trip a complete disappointment. First and foremost, one of the tour guides displayed an appalling lack of professionalism by repeatedly bringing up political topics during the tour. In a place as sacred and serene as Peru’s cultural and natural landmarks, political discussions have no place. The guide, however, intentionally steered conversations toward divisive topics about China and Taiwan, seemingly with the aim of provoking conflict. This behavior went beyond mere unprofessionalism; it felt malicious. The guide repeatedly attempted to incite tensions between us and other travelers from Taiwan by framing questions and comments in a way that encouraged confrontation. Such conduct is utterly inappropriate and created a hostile atmosphere during what should have been a peaceful and educational experience. Beyond this, the rest of the trip was a logistical nightmare: 1. This wasn’t a cohesive tour at all. After the first two days, we were shuffled between different groups, with new guides every day, and even placed in groups managed by other travel agencies. What was marketed as a Chullos-exclusive, pure English-speaking tour ended up being a chaotic mix of Spanish and English, making it difficult to follow along. 2. The hotel in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu) was atrocious. It was far from the promised three-star accommodation—calling it a “guesthouse” would be generous. It was directly adjacent to the train tracks where trains parked, and even with the windows shut, the room was filled with the overpowering smell of gasoline and loud train noises well past 10 PM. Rest was impossible. 3. The Machu Picchu guide was shockingly unprofessional. He rushed us up steep paths without regard for our physical capabilities, walking so far ahead that we were left struggling to keep up. Instead of providing meaningful explanations about the history or significance of the site, he constantly urged us to take photos—mainly using his own phone, presumably to send proof to the travel agency. In the end, he abandoned us inside Machu Picchu entirely, likely to lead another group. Finally, I fell ill with severe diarrhea after drinking a local beverage (chicha) recommended by one of their guides. Despite this, when I requested to reschedule the last day’s Humantay Lake tour—something that costs only $70 for two people locally—my request was denied outright. For a company charging over $1600 for their services, this lack of flexibility and compassion is unacceptable. Chullos Travel Peru failed to deliver on every promise they made. This experience wasn’t just disappointing; it was disrespectful to us as travelers. Unless they seriously address these issues and improve their services, I cannot recommend this company. This has been one of the most frustrating and unpleasant travel experiences I’ve ever had. 我为此次旅行支付了 超过 1600 美元,期待获得高质量、专业管理的旅行体验。然而,现实却是 一系列不可接受的问题,使这次行程彻底沦为一场灾难。 导游行为极度不当,恶意挑起政治冲突 首先,导游的专业素养令人震惊。他在行程中反复谈论政治话题,在如此神圣宁静的秘鲁文化与自然景点中,政治讨论毫无立足之地。然而,该导游却刻意引导话题,涉及中国与台湾的争议性问题,似乎存心挑起冲突。这种行为已经不仅仅是不专业,而是带有明显的恶意。 更严重的是,该导游反复尝试在我与台湾游客之间制造紧张氛围,他的言论和提问方式显然刻意引导对立,试图挑拨矛盾。这种行为极为不妥,在本应是平和且富有教育意义的旅途中,制造了令人不适的敌对氛围,严重影响了我们的旅行体验。 行程安排混乱不堪,毫无专业性 除了导游的严重失职,此次行程在组织安排上更是完全不可接受,简直是一次后勤灾难: 1. 行程混乱、组织极差 这根本不能被称为一次连贯的旅行。从第三天开始,我们被随意调配至不同的旅行团,每天更换新导游,甚至被安排到其他旅行社管理的团队。最初承诺的Chullos Travel 专属全英文团,最终竟然变成西英混杂、沟通混乱的拼团,根本无法流畅跟进讲解内容。 2. 酒店恶劣,住宿环境极差 在马丘比丘(Aguas Calientes)的酒店根本不符合三星级标准,甚至称其为“旅社”都勉强。酒店紧邻火车轨道,火车长时间停靠,即使关上窗户,房间仍然充满强烈的汽油味,且火车噪音持续至深夜 10 点后,几乎无法入睡。 3. 导游极不专业,漠视游客体验 负责马丘比丘的导游表现极度不专业。他在陡峭山路上无视游客身体状况,急行猛走,完全不顾同行游客是否能够跟上,甚至走得远远的,根本不提供任何帮助。此外,他几乎没有进行任何有价值的历史或文化讲解,反而不断催促我们拍照,并且主要用他的手机拍照,很明显是为了向旅行社汇报“工作”而非真正关心游客体验。最终,他甚至直接把我们丢在马丘比丘,自己转身去带另一个团队,这种行为极度不负责任。 食品安全问题,缺乏基本人道关怀 在导游推荐下,我饮用了当地的Chicha饮料,随即严重腹泻。然而,在这种情况下,我仅仅请求调整最后一天的 Humantay 湖行程(当地报名两人仅需 70 美元),却被无情拒绝。对于一家收费 超过 1600 美元 的旅行公司而言,如此缺乏灵活性和基本的人道关怀,令人愤慨。 总结:Chullos Travel Peru 彻底违背了承诺,严重损害了我们的权益 Chullos Travel Peru 未能兑现任何承诺,这次旅行不仅令人失望,更是对我们作为消费者的严重不尊重。贵公司若不认真反思、立即改进服务,我绝不会推荐任何人选择你们的服务。这是我有史以来最令人沮丧、最糟糕的旅行体验之一。Written 2 February 2025

Like WOW! This was the highlight of my visit to Peru! Rainbow Mountain is absolutely gorgeous! The weather was perfect for us maybe felt like 50 degrees but Sunny! We took our time, but we also cheated by hiring motorbikes to get us close to the top! The cost for each Moto bike was 70 Soles and the rest of the hike took about 30 minutes if you don’t stop. The crowd was at least 200 or more people but you give each other grace coming up or down the mountain! Our guide whose name was Wally with Chullos Travel was amazing! He communicated on WhatsApp his arrival time and when and where he would be he was right outside our hostel before we got to the door! He provided us blankets as our meet up time was 4:30 AM and it was quite cold. That was very thoughtful! He gave us a detailed description of what to expect on the ride when we would stop for breakfast, which was a very nice breakfast so early in the morning! After breakfast, the ride was maybe two hours with lots of views of the village and alpacas and llamas! Wally provided us with walking sticks and showed us where our driver would be waiting for us. We started walking together then everyone dispersed at their own pace. At the top Wally met up and took photos for everyone and made sure we got down and to the van awaiting us! Wally took us to lunch, which was very nice lots of options. The food was really good! He even gave us a detailed history of his culture & Rainbow Mountain meaning , which was very nice! I highly recommend Walley and this tour you won’t beat the promptness, professionalism and customer service! This tour is really inexpensive but is 5 stars! So please remember to tip because it is a lot of work to move through the mountains and provide good meals and customer service no less than 50 soles to help with the driver to who got us thru all the curves and mountains safely! Thank you I will be booking again when I return to Peru!

This is a very strenuous activity but so rewarding at the end. Our guide, Wally, was so wonderful. He was very communicative during the pick-up process and gave us a detailed description of our itinerary hour by hour. He did an incredible job keeping track of our group; very impressive considering it was essentially like herding sleep- and oxygen-deprived cats while fireworks went off. I truly don't know how he kept track of us all but he managed it so well. Wally is very knowledgeable and gave us so much interesting and helpful information. He's a superb photographer in addition to a great motivator who pushed our group through very difficult physical moments while always maintaining a high level of safety. Wally is a fantastic guide and I recommend people ask for him when doing this tour. "Where there is a Wally, there is a way (up Rainbow Mountain)!" Thank you, Wally, siempre positivo! A special shout-out also to our driver, Cirilo. Cirilo is a true professional on those narrow winding roads and kept us comfortable and safe on our journeys. Seeing him after coming down from Rainbow Mountain was a relief and comfort. He and Wally make a great team!

The Excursión to Rainbow Mountain from Cusco was an unforgettable experience. The journey began with a comfortable ride to the base of the mountain, where we were greeted by our knowledgeable guide, Nilton. The hike itself was challenging but incredibly rewarding, with the stunning colors of the Vinicunca mountain range unfolding before us.
The weather was unpredictable, but our guide was well-prepared, ensuring we were equipped with raincoats and warm jackets. Despite the changing conditions, the beauty of the mountain was always visible, and the moment we reached the summit, it was as if we were standing on a canvas painted with nature’s most vibrant hues.
The tour included a delicious lunch buffet and oxygen tanks for those who needed them, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and awe-inspiring adventure in Peru.

The trip to rainbow mountains with chullos agency was amazing. We went directly to the agency office and got all the details - very professional explanation of the tour.
About the tour - we were picked up on time from the hostel and our guide Super WALLY was amazing ! Day started with a rain and we were all wondering if we could make it , but WALLY kept motivating us. Obviously weather is not in anyone control - but WALLY”s spirit kept us high. He explained everything in Spanish and English - made sure each one of us are doing okay through out the hike. Once we got to the top, within 5 mins it started hailing . He was patient to wait for all of us to finish pictures and then asked us to rush back to bus in the best way we can - but carefully . Thanks to Wally , we had a good trip. Post lunch he explained everything about the region in detail as well.
The breakfast and lunch with this tour is outstanding. Never expected such a large buffet - so many fruits and cereals for breakfast. Pancakes and omelettes included . Lunch was also a great spread. Such a super nice restaurant - with amazing staff.
Really amazing staff at the agency and guide and the food - this was really good tour and money well spent.

I was lucky to have Super Wally as Guide on my recent tour, and I must say it was an excellent experience from the beginning. Wally was very punctual in pickup and from the first moment he was extremely helpful.
Throughout the tour, Wally provided detailed information about the tour. He explained clearly everything related to the mountain, including its name, the different color tones it presents, and how it was discovered. His knowledge and passion for the place were reflected in each of his explanations.
During the walk, Wally was always aware of our needs, providing constant support. He accompanied us at all times, supplying "aguita de florida" to help us acclimate and feel better. In addition, he took the time to be our photographer, capturing unforgettable moments of the group.
In short, Super Wally made this experience unforgettable. Here are some photos of the group and a special photo with our amazing Guide, Wally.

The trip went smooth, the pick up was on time and the guide Nilton is friendly and entertainting, the driver Edwin has an excellent driving skills on these tiny roads that lead to the mountain. The breakfast and lunch were tasty and diverse. The only thing to be aware before booking is that the road is full of curves and if you tend to throw up equip yourself with pills or abstain from food. Its important to be in shape to hike until the top and definetely acclimatise in Cusco a few days before going.

I’d like to take a moment to share our feedback on the Rainbow Mountain tour we recently took with your agency. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
1. Exceptional Organization: The schedule was perfectly planned and executed. Everything was on time and ran seamlessly, which made the experience stress-free and enjoyable.
2. Amazing Team Support: A special thanks to our guide, Wally, and our driver, Edu. Both were incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed at all times. Their professionalism and kindness stood out throughout the day.
3. Breathtaking Scenery: While the hike was VERY demanding, the stunning views along the way made every step worth it. The natural beauty of Rainbow Mountain is beyond words.
4. Fantastic Value: The pricing of the tour is outstanding, especially considering it includes both breakfast and lunch. The meals were a great way to refuel during such an intense adventure.
Thank you for providing such a memorable experience. We’ll certainly recommend your agency to others and will keep you in mind for future tours in the region.

A trilha da Montanha Colorida foi um grande desafio devido à altitude, o que provocou bastante cansaço. No entanto, a experiência foi altamente compensadora, especialmente pela dedicação do nosso guia, Pablo. Ele foi muito atencioso, sempre esperando pelos últimos membros do grupo (entre os quais me incluía) e oferecendo suporte com sprays de essência para facilitar a respiração. Foi uma jornada desafiadora, mas me senti sempre segura e bem acompanhada. Uma experiência incrível que certamente recomendo!

We were a group of 18 people travelling by minibus. Yesica was our guide. The tour was well organized. We were picked up from our hotel in Cusco at 4:20am and travelled for 1,5h to a breakfast restaurant for buffet breakfast, then continued for another 1h to the rainbow mountain. Chulos travel provides walking sticks - I advise to take them. I didn’t and regretted that. You really need them the last 100 meters. The walk looks easy but I assure you, it’s not. Yesica gave us a lot of tips on how to manage the climb better and provided me with the salts for the breathing. It was very helpful. You need to walk slowly and at the same pace without stopping; if it’s hard, get on the horse ( you can do this at any point but they won’t take you all the way to the top; you will still need to climb the last stretch ), you shouldn’t be on top of the mountain longer than 20 minutes; bring your passport - they will stamp it. There are two bathrooms: at the beginning of the climb and at the top ( the top one is more expensive) After our successful return back from the mountain, we went for lunch at the same restaurant and then they took us back.
All in all great experience!

Hello , this tour is available for 7 years old kid? Thank you
Written 9 July 2022
My 13 year old daughter was happy to do it. 7 might be a bit young. It’s a 10 k hike. Maybe she can ride a horse for part of the way. That is not included in the trip costs so bring cash for that.
