Rainbow Mountain has recently become one of the most popular one-day hikes in the Cusco region. With more than 5000m, Rainbow Mountain and the Red Valley is truly an unforgettable experience. Our tour is designed in a way that you will arrive at the top Rainbow Mountain when it is still empty, and we can have this place with few people.
Highlights of the Rainbow Mountain Peru
Pickup included
Pick you up from the hotel at 5:00 am and travel 3 hours to the trailhead. Upon arrival, our chef will prepare a delicious breakfast with plentiful choices while you enjoy the scenery with a nice cup of coffee or coca tea. After breakfast, we'll climb Vinicunca for 2 hours (Also known as Rainbow Mountain). You can witness hundreds of llamas and alpacas and hike around the Ausangate Mountain range, Cusco's highest mountains. The hike is mostly plain with a gradual steep incline at the end, and you'll need a warm jacket, caps, gloves, and a camera to record the great vistas. At Rainbow Mountain, your guide will describe how the painted hills, Andes, and this mountain formed. After admiring the Peruvian Andes and the 360-degree view from Vinicunca, we'll take a 30-minute hike to Red Valley, a rarely-visited region with amazing views. Next, we'll return to the trailhead, where lunch awaits. Our chef uses local ingredients to prepare buffet meals. Return to Cusco around 5:30 pm.
