Amazing Day at Rainbow Mountain

5.00Judy was our guide for the day. She did an outstanding job keeping everyone informed on what was happening. There were mostly Spanish speaking people on the tour, but she always repeated everything in English for those of us that aren’t fluent in Spanish. Judy took real good care of us making sure everyone was feeling okay and was able to complete the walk. We took the motorbikes up to the top and that was fantastic!
Amazing views

5.00Such an amazing experience! My family booked with Minkas Travel, and they took such great care of us. Our travel guide, Irvin, kept us informed about the mountain, beliefs and traditions of the people living there. Once we got up the mountain the views are amazing and definitely recommend going! You wake up early but it's worth it!
Amazing hike and great service!

5.00I highly recommend using Minkas for your tours in Peru. We had initially scheduled a tour to Machu Picchu. On or two days before Machu Picchu, we wanted to add Rainbow Mountain. Minkas put together a very reasonable proposal within a day and picked us up promptly at 3:30 am the folllowing day from our hotel in Cusco with Aurelio (Driver), Irwin (Tour Guide), and Angel (Assistant). What an amazing team to have at our side during a very challenging but very rewarding hike. Irwin was very knowledgeable about the region and offered great insights about the culture, food, and region. They packed a delicious lunch for us and even brought us hot coca tea in a thermos to help with the elevation. I was amazed that Irwin and Angel climbed the entire hike with us. The elevation is very high with low oxygen and it’s very challenging work but they were with us every step of the way. At the top, Irwin took the most stunning photos. He is a gifted photographer and it shows in his pictures. We are so grateful for the hard work Minkas put into the hike, especially on such short notice. They were worth every penny and I would definitely choose them again.
A memorable hike to Rainbow Mountain

5.00Our exclusive private tour to Rainbow Mountain with Minka’s Travel was an unforgettable adventure. Irwin, who was both our main agent and tour guide, played a crucial role in making this experience exceptional. Irwin’s extensive knowledge about the area and his friendly demeanor made the entire journey enjoyable. Despite the difficulty of the hike, Irwin’s positive energy and motivation kept us going, and reaching the top was incredibly rewarding. The views from Rainbow Mountain were absolutely stunning, and the sense of accomplishment we felt was unparalleled. We highly recommend Minka’s Travel for anyone looking to experience the wonders of Rainbow Mountain with an exceptional guide. Thank you, Irwin, for making this an adventure we will never forget.
