EXCELLENT Based on 265 reviews Chantelle J2025-02-01Verified Excellent Fantastic service from check in to check out.. A special mention to Phil and his team in the Restaurant amazing attention to detail.. going above and beyond. instantanthony2025-01-26Verified Unique and awesome experience We had a really great time on this trip! Our guide Joel was awesome! It was cool to get off the beaten path a bit, the views are amazing everywhere you look. All the equipment was well maintained. It was wet and cold when we went and we got a bit dirty, but we were prepared for that and it was almost part the fun. They also took some really great pictures for us. Jeanne A2025-01-19Verified Most Memorable Experience The views were amazing and our lunch was wonderful. We had a perfect day with the clouds parting for some wonderful shots of the mountains. Freddy was an absolute treat, and made our experience a wonderful time filled with laughter and good conversation. 💯 recommend Roshni S2025-01-03Verified Nice place We did a day trip to this place. Both places were nice and view was amazing. Everything was well organized and the view was breathtaking Isabel Sanchez2024-11-25Verified Blue lagoon The best view on the top of Peru. The height would not allow me to climb them I went up on horseback, the people were very attentive and I managed to see that majestic place surrounded by mountains the sound of the water as we passed our roads back. Unmissable place Isabel Sanchez2024-11-25Verified Machu picchu Freddy was the best thing that could happen to us is a great person and guide who explained everything in detail characterizes his punctuality, Reynaldo and he took us very early to Ollantaytambo to take the train (we hired him from before traveling and our tickets were bought two months earlier, explained in detail flooded us with history while we were going up the circuit, he was also our photographer, I highly recommend it. We couldn't have found or had a better experience with him. Adri Antillón2024-11-08Verified Excellent travel service and guide The amazing tour! The attention of my guide Fredy excellent. All the time I felt safe, comfortable, well accompanied and with a guide who does his job very well because you can see his preparation and professionalism Gerhard2024-11-02Verified From Durango to Ouray on HWY 550 - a breathtaking drive with many possibilities The HWY 550 starts in Albuquerque NM and goes to Durango and continues from there. This first is an interesting drive through high dessert areas to Durango.Durango is a great town, lots of hotels are there too, a great walk along the river, rafting, several micro-breweries, an original French bakery with the best baguette for 100 miles and much more. The steam engine railway, which was rated the best in the USA, starts there. The trip to Silverton by train takes you through untouched areas of the Weminuche Wilderness, where is no street goes. The first part from Durango is not that breathtaking but it becomes breathtaking!The drive by car from Durango to Silverton and especially the last part to Ouray is truly breathtaking too. The miner's Monument at the hillside in Silverton is really worth to walk there. It has such a nice blessing energy. Otherwise Silverton is a special old miner's town with several good restaurants and outdoors.The HWY 550 becomes sometimes very narrow and was blasted out of the steep hillsides. No guardrails block the view. Each year some avalanches happen and cars are swiped down during the winter. If this was too much for you, you can go back to Durango via the HWY 145 which brings you down the beautiful Dolores Valley to Dolores and Cortez and from there via HWY 160 back to Durango. From Silverton to Ouray is the best part. First you drive through meadows and might see a moose. Plenty of camping options. Then it becomes narrow and steep. Great!Ouray itself has several natural Hot Springs, Hotels with them and a big public one at the exit of town towards Ridgeway and Montrose. Ridgeway has the Orvis Hot Springs (I wrote about it too) and in Ridgeway you can go left towards Telluride and then from there to Lizard Head pass, Dolores and Cortez and back to Ouray. Montrose is not nice and only makes sense if you want to go through to Grand Junction or you need building materials. Telluride and it's Mountain Village (connected with a free gondola) are surely worth a stop too. From Telluride to Lizard Head pass also is a nice drive.Be aware, that in the national forests you can do camping for free and stay at a spot for 2 weeks. Many places for that are at rivers for Fly-fishing. In Silverton and Ouray they rent out Jeeps for exploring the old mountain-roads. Another adventure.Oh- so much more. I live here, but still have not explored all of it. Mary-Lynn R2024-10-25Verified Rainbow Mountain Easier Option with Fredy We had an amazing day at Rainbow Mountain that booked with Minka Peru Expeditions. Fredy was our tour guide and he was great!!! We got lucky as no one else booked for the day so Fredy just had the three of us. We told him that we had been mountain climbing for the two days prior and that we wanted to take our time going up the mountain. He kept saying “don’t worry be happy” and we walked up slowly and took breaks to sit or take pictures which was good because the high altitude was no joke. On the way we stopped at a restaurant and had buffet breakfast and one the way back we had buffet lunch the food was delicious and managed by local staff. The views on the mountain were absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend Minka Peru Expeditions. The pick up was on time at 5am, Fredy was knowledgeable and professional and the van driver was skillful going around all the windy bends going up the mountain to RM. We had a fantastic memorable day. Thank you Fredy ! Jhonny V2024-10-18Verified Very good tour! Very good activity, Mr. Fredy was very punctual and clear with the explanation of itinerary and activities. Unfortunately, for reasons of force majeure (train delay) we could not reach to take the most popular route, 2 and took 1 but likewise this offered a great view of Machu Picchu.
