Rainbow Mountain Tour — Full Day

We start very early at 04:30 a.m. with hotel pick-up in Cusco and travel south through the valley by tourist transport. During the approximately three-hour drive, we pass charming Andean towns such as Oropesa, famous for its “pan chuta” bread, Andahuaylillas, known as the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas”, and Urcos, until we reach the district of Cusipata, where we enjoy an energizing breakfast before continuing to Phulawasipata (4,600 m), the starting point of the hike. We begin an approximately 1.5-hour trek through highland landscapes, spotting herds of alpacas and llamas, high-altitude birds, and the impressive Ausangate range, until we arrive at the Mountain of 7 Colors viewpoint (Vinicunca, 5,300 m). You’ll have free time to admire the multicolored scenery, take photos, and enjoy the magic of the Andes. We then return to Phulawasipata, head back to Cusipata for an Andean buffet lunch, and return to Cusco, arriving around 5:00 p.m..
