This tour can be enjoyed in both group and private formats.
Our journey begins with morning pickup from your hotel, between 4:35 and 4:45 am. After picking up all passengers, the bus will head to our first sightseeing stop. We will depart from Cusco at 5 am, and after about two hours of travel, we’ll arrive at the town of Cusipata. Here, we’ll enjoy a breakfast to give us the energy needed for the trekking route to Rainbow Mountain.
Once satisfied, we’ll board the bus and continue traveling for around two hours through Pitumarca, located at 3,570 meters of altitude. After this time, we’ll arrive at a rural community, where we’ll begin our hike at 4,600 meters above sea level. Following the guide’s instructions, we’ll ascend through mysterious peaks, encountering Andean animals like alpacas, sheep, and vicuñas.
After an hour and 45 minutes of climbing, we’ll reach the spectacular Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca or the Mountain of Seven Colors. The moment you see it, you’ll understand why its majesty earned it a spot on National Geographic’s list of the 100 places to visit before you die.
We’ll give you time to photograph Rainbow Mountain, and then we’ll start our descent to the bus, following the same path we came up. Luckily, going down is easier than going up!
We’ll return to Cusipata to enjoy a buffet-style meal—truly the best reward!
After lunch, we’ll return to Cusco’s city center, dropping you off near the Plaza de Armas after an excursion lasting between 14 and 15 hours.
