- AMark· September 7th, 2023The Inca Trail - just fantastic, everything was great. Darwin - the tour leader, excellent. The Porters on the Trail - phenomenal. The train from Puno to Cusco - absolutely fantastic. Rainbow Mountain was a highlight for most, personally i thought the journey was a bit long (nearly 4 hours each way) for a 2 hour hike, but everyone else in the group thought it was brilliant.Show moreTrip date: August 2023Review collected by Explore!
