FAQS?

Is there internet on the visit to Rainbow Mountain?

The internet signal is nil during most of the tour, especially in the Mountain 7 Colors – Ausangate. However, from Cusco to some parts of the road it will be possible to receive an internet signal on your mobile phone. After that, we will be in an open field, so we will not have an internet signal.

What is the best date for the 7 Colors Rainbow Mountain Tour?

The best time to visit the Mountain 7 Colors, and have good weather is between April – October, since during these dates we have the presence of clear skies and at a lesser scale river precipitation. The driest months are between June – August, winter in the Andes.

January to March is summer in Peru, however, the rainy season is present for Cusco, Salkantay, Humantay Lake, and Rainbow Mountain.

Money in Peru?

Peru uses the Nuevo Sol (S/.), which is traded between S/. 3.00 to S/. 3.30 depending on the exchange rate of the US dollar (US) and current events.

It is advisable to bring cash, an ATM card, or traveler’s checks as well as a credit card, which can be used for cash advances in an emergency.

When you receive local money, ask for single (small bills), as S/tickets. The European Commission has recently published a study on the role of the EU in the field of education and training. Carry as much as possible, especially in small towns.

Public restrooms often charge a small fee for use and changing large tickets may be impossible.

The best places for exchange rate money are fast currency exchanges which often give slightly better rates than banks.

Many places accept U.S. dollars and do not accept broken notes as they are unlikely to be accepted by local Peruvians.

It’s better not to change money on the street because counterfeit notes are a problem.

How is the weather in Peru?

The weather in Peru is extremely varied depending on the region you visit!

Peru has a wide variety of climates due to its proximity to the equator and tropical influence, along with the towering heights of the Andes Mountains and the strong currents of the Pacific Ocean. The country is usually divided into three principal geographic regions.

Coast – The main characteristic of the coast is dryness – it is mostly desert, but a desert with mild temperatures, and plenty of humidity. Light rain is possible a few months of the year, but the coast is covered in a heavy fog coming from the sea, which brings plenty of mist onto land and often a chilly sensation. During summer (Dec-Apr), the fog disappears and temperatures may exceed 30ºC (86º F), especially in the north.

Mountains – The Andes has two well-marked seasons – the dry season with its endless sunny days from April to October and the wet season between November and March. Day temperatures do not fluctuate much all year, but dry season night temperatures often bring a harsh chill due to frequent frost above 3,500 mts (11,500 ft). Most tourists choose to visit during the dry months. The climate varies greatly depending on altitude. In general, mountain weather is wild and unpredictable at any time of the year!

Amazon – A tropical climate with two seasons – dry and hot between April – October and a more mild-heat wet season between November – March. High humidity is present all year long.
