Full Day – Rainbow Mountain tour – Group Service

This full-day hiking tour from Cusco takes you through the Andes to Vinicunca, known as Rainbow Mountain, where you’ll see vivid bands of red, gold, turquoise, and lavender minerals stretching across the landscape. The journey begins early with hotel pickup and a scenic drive that includes breakfast before reaching the trailhead at Chilca, situated at 4,300 meters (14,200 feet). From there, you’ll hike steadily for about four hours, passing grazing alpacas and enjoying views of the snowcapped Ausangate peak. The trail climbs to approximately 5,000 meters (16,400 feet), where you can take in panoramic vistas of the Rainbow Mountain’s colorful stripes. This demanding high-altitude trek is best suited for travelers who have spent time acclimatizing in Cusco. The tour includes a professional guide, entrance fees, breakfast, lunch, and round-trip transport, with return to Cusco in the early evening.
