Incredible views! - After enjoying our experience with Inkayni on the Inca Trail, my mom and I also signed up for a day tour of Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley. Inkayni had availability the next day for a private tour for us. Our guide Ali was very friendly and knowledgeable in Andean culture. He coached us on several fun poses for memorable pictures with the beautiful scenery. We were still tired from the trail and especially feeling the higher elevation, but the views make it all worth it. Ali was very patient with us needing short breaks every 20 steps or so. Further, Ali confirmed that Inkayni’s claims about working with locals are true, rather than contracting from an office in the US like other tour companies. This was a primary factor in my family choosing Inkayni to begin with, and it was great to hear directly that this appears to be true and employees enjoy working for Inkayni versus some of the more commercialized tour groups.

Would book with them again - Be prepared to get up early and know that it’s totally worth it. We highly recommend going with Inkayni on your next visit to Peru! Be sure to request Guido Chavez. He’s a fantastic guide!

Rainbow Mtn - Amazing views. Lovely hike. Our tour guide Jonathan was great! He gave us the option of also doing Red Valley which was totally worth it. Epic views.

World-Class Tour - I did the full day Rainbow Mountain your and received Franco as our guide and Percy as the driver. The only negative was being picked up last and having to sit in the back as the roads are rough (at no fault to the guides). The breakfast was enough to get you the energy to make it to the endpoint and our guides were very flexible and accommodating to differing levels of adjustment to the altitude (4500-5000+ meters up!). Everyone was allowed to go at their own pace and Franco and Percy operated under the "no person gets left behind and everyone will see the view, no matter what" mindset and even let some people in our group borrow their personal walking sticks. Franco was extremely knowledgeable in the history of the mountain and the peoples who reside there and had an answer for everything we threw at him! He was also very willing to assist in taking photos for and with everyone which is nice for people who may take the trip solo. The only recommendation I would have for the tour company is providing walking sticks for customers and maybe working a deal with the restaurant, for lunch specifically, to provide a drink with the meal. Otherwise I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this adventure with Franco to La Montaña de los Colores!

Great Service - This was a day trip that my wife and I added to our Peru trip as a last minute add-on. We traveled by private car from Cusco to the Rainbow Mountain trail head. We had a private guide (Percy) and a driver. Percy was very friendly and willing to share the history of the areas we traveled thru, the culture of the people and tips for managing the actual hike itself. He was very attentive to our needs and made us feel very safe and secure throughout the trip. The location is simply amazing. The trip is at high altitude. You start at about 15,000ft and finish at 16,500ft. The trail is very easy though, well marked and not technical at all. We also stopped along the way at a local place for breakfast and lunch. The staff and food were great. Overall I would highly recommend this to someone that has the time and is traveling in the area.
