★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,469 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $53

Rainbow Mountain day trek from Cusco with early pickup, breakfast and lunch, and a guided hike to Vinicunca’s famous colorful views.

“Unfortunately had snowfall while at the summit, so couldn’t really see the colors. However, it was cool to be there in those conditions. The ride from Cusco to Rainbow Mountain was especially enjoyable. Lots of small towns, mountains, valleys, and fairly smooth roads through the first two-thirds (dirt roads are the final 1/3). We even enjoyed the scenery more than Sacred Valley. We ate breakfast and lunch (on the way there and the way back) at the same restaurant. The food was okay…buffet style. There was not much narration or information provided by the guide, but he did make sure we were organized and safe. Speaking of safe, the altitude…”

Highly recommend!”

Full-day Humantay Lake trek from Cusco with breakfast, lunch, and round-trip transport. Long day, big altitude views, small groups.

“I bought this tour via Viator before arriving Cusco just to be on the safe side and paid $78 for the tour thinking that this is the standard rate/tour provides higher quality lunch, etc. On the day of the tour, I learned that everyone else on the tour paid max of $24... The quality tour was not good either... The guide spoke Spanish mostly, did not provide guidance about the structure of the tour, etc. When I reached out to Viator about this issue and the unfair price, they did not help me at all... This felt like a complete rip off. I was truly frustrated. Overall, do not buy…”

Hike the remote Lares route to Machu Picchu in 4 days, with high passes, hot springs, tents, train rides, and a guided Machu Picchu visit.

“My first visit to Peru and high altitude trekking experience. Sam Travel Peru met all our needs and expectations. Transportation to and from CUZ/local hotels were included and definitely made logistics easier. The hike itself was amazing. Incredible views both day and night. Our guide, Adner, was knowledgeable about Inca history and local cultures. He did a great job managing a group with different hiking abilities and speeds. The food provided was excellent, especially considering it was prepared in a tent. You will not go hungry. Our horseman worked hard as well. Would definitely recommend and use again. Only negative was a local strike that was beyond SAM Travel’s control…”
