Itinerary:
DAY BREAKDOWN
The layman might find Rainbow Mountain (or ‘Vinicunca’) almost impossible to locate – but with our expert local guides, you’ll have no problem!
We’ll depart Cusco early in the morning and drive to the trailhead, stopping for breakfast en route. The scenery on the drive is stunning, and you might spot llamas, alpacas and vicuñas along the way.
The walk takes around 2 hours, climbing up the Red Valley, past the Nevado Ausangate and several picturesque lagoons, before arriving at the viewpoint where you can take in the majesty of the whole mountain in all its multi-coloured grandeur.
Learn about the science behind the curious colours with our tour guide whilst enjoying a cup of tea and a tasty snack, before heading back along the Red Valley’s striking trails.
