Stunning Rainbow Mountain Tour

02-Sep-2024

We had such a nice time exploring the Andes mountains and the famous Rainbow Mountain. Our guide, Urbano, did a great job by providing us all the information we needed for this trek. The service was great, starting with the pick-up from our hotel and drop-off at the same place. Meals are wonderful; our chef Miguel prepared delicious and varied food. The camping gear was also great. I definitely recommend Vidal Expeditions for everyone.
