Why we love it?

This private tour from Cusco offers a personalized hike to Vinicunca, also known as Rainbow Mountain, allowing you to move at your own pace through the high Andean valleys beneath the snowcapped Ausangate. After an early morning pickup and breakfast en route, you’ll reach the trailhead and begin a roughly two-hour climb to a viewpoint at about 5,000 meters (16,400 feet), where colorful mineral bands of red, gold, turquoise, and lavender stretch across the mountain. The experience includes transport, a professional guide who adjusts the pace to your comfort, and meals, making it suitable for travelers prepared for a demanding high-altitude trek. Spending time in Cusco beforehand to acclimatize is recommended to fully enjoy this day-long adventure.
