Itinerary

We will begin this adventure very early with pick-up from your hotel in Cusco’s historic center. We will then travel to the Cusipata area, where we will enjoy breakfast before continuing to the starting point of the hike.

From there, we will begin the ascent to Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca. Along the route, you will be able to observe high-Andean landscapes, mountains, alpacas, llamas and local communities. Although the hike is not very long, the altitude can make the route feel more demanding, so we will proceed calmly and accompanied by our professional guide.

Upon reaching the main viewpoint, you will have time to enjoy the view, rest and take photographs of one of Cusco’s most famous landscapes. After the visit, we will begin the descent to return to our transportation and head to Cusipata, where we will enjoy a buffet lunch.

Finally, we will return to the city of Cusco. The tour ends at approximately 4:00 p.m. near Cusco’s historic center. If you book the private service, the return can be coordinated directly to the door of your accommodation.
