Itinerary

We will pick you up from your hotel at 4:30 am, and begin our amazing Rainbow Mountain Trek Adventure. We will then drive for around 3 hours through the South Valley; ending up at (4,638masl / 15,216 feet). On the way there, we will have our breakfast and lunch in the village named Cusipata. Along the way, there are amazing views of farming Inca terraces, traditional villages, valleys and high Andean peaks. Once we reach the trailhead, we start on our hike following the path. As you start your hike, you will have views of the Ausangate Mountain and glaciers. You can interact with the local people, who still keep the traditional Quechua culture alive. Here you will be able to learn about their traditional clothes and the significance of the different hats worn by the men. You can even ask your guide to teach you a few words of Quechua.

The hike in total takes around 1h 30 minutes where we will finally reach our destination: the Rainbow Mountain (5,020m /16,466ft). After admiring its unique beauty, you will have time to explore the area. You can take pictures or just soak up the view. We will spend approximately 30 minutes at the top. Afterwards, there is an optional hike across to the top of the Red Valley. This attraction is considered better than the Rainbow Mountain by many travelers who have been there.

Upon reaching our car, we will then drive about 1 hour to enjoy a delicious lunch. Afterwards, we will embark on the

2-hour drive back to Cusco and drop you off at your Cusco hotel, arriving around 6:00 pm.
