Where and when do we pay for the entrance fee?

You will be asked to pay the entrances at the beginning of the trek. It is paid direct to the community that runs the Mountain. Our guide will help you :-)

Why is there such a difference between 4:30 am pick of $46 PP and 6:30 am pick of $95 PP

For the US$46.00, is a group tour, with about 15people (do not include entrances). For the US$95.00, is a private tour, only the 9people (includes entrances).

If so, how much will your tour be?

This tour you will be back in Cusco around 5pm, I would recommend your flight to be a little later than 7pm, so you have time to get to the airport.

Is there an age limit for this trip

We recommend minimum age of 8 year old and a maximum of 70 year old, as long as the person is in extreme good health. The Rainbow Mountain exceeds 5,200 m.a.s.l. The altitude could play tricks on you, to take a tour to this spectacular place, you need to acclimatize a day or two in advance so you can enjoy the walk.

what time would we be dropped off back at cusco?

You would be back in Cusco around 5pm.

What time does the trek to Rainbow mountain finish and get back to Cusco? We need to catch a flight in the evening

You would be back in Cusco around 5pm.

Rainbow mountain is incredible! 1.35 mile walk each way was not too hard, even at 17k feet.. Option for horseback or ATV. Spectacular views of Rainbow Mountain plus the valley and vistas of the glacier clad high Andes. Be prepared for 9 hour bus ride. Breakfast and lunch spot was not very good, worst meals we had in Peru. Might be worthwhile to pack your own. Definitely worth the trip to see this incredible geological phenomenonShow more
