Juan is a fantastic tour guide!!! - from start to finish! He is a prompt communicator and Is very knowledgeable about the culture and geography of Peru. His English is impeccable and he has a great sense of humor, infusing levity and jokes throughout our tour. He went over and above to accommodate some special requests that we had for transportation and he guided us with great recommendations for restaurants, he even walked us into the restaurant and talked with the host so we got seated immediately. I highly recommend Juan-thanks to him this was one of the highlights out our trip! I recommend the rainbow mountain and especially Juan to everyone! Thanks !

Juan was terrific. He’s so knowledgeable about the area and modified this tour so that we could also hike along the ridge to see into the Red Valley. That said, when you hike over 15,000 feet in altitude to over 16,000 feet, be acclimatized. Hiking the ridge to the red valley was hiking at over 15,000 feet, so you need to be prepared. Would work with Juan again if we return to the area. Thank you Juan!!

Juan, thanks for a great day out, we all enjoyed it immensely even though the altitude made the going difficult at times (not your fault of course). If anyone is thinking of going up Rainbow mountain, Juan's your man. He will look after you when the going gets tough. He is very professional and caring and knows the area extremely well. He also recommended a couple of restaurants in Cusco which we tried and enjoyed. Thanks again Juan.

I booked Juan to take my family to Rainbow Mountain. Found him from this site searching on Google and he had great reviews. The booking process and communication with him was excellent. Picked us up from our hotel with a driver in a very nice vehicle and the day was great from beginning to end. He has a lovely nature and his guidance was superb. We had a fabulous day and highly recommend him for any trips you are interested in.

Juan was an excellent guide. He worked with us on each step of the process and ensured both a smooth visit to Rainbow Mountain and awesome shots of the mountain by drone. Juan was great in explaining the reasons for the colors, the surrounding area, and the community that manages the mountain itself. Though a long day, his conversation and willingness to answer any and all questions made the time fly. The tour was my daughter's high point in many ways.

Juan was so energetic and friendly. He was so patient with my wife as she acclimated to the altitude. Rainbow mountain is like no mountain range i have seen. The color scheme and drive up to the hike felt like we were in some place you only read about. It was truly a spiritual experience. It was worth the price of admission and then some
