Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Cerro Colorado Vinicunca, Apv- Tipon-n11, Cusco 08003 Peru

Find the rainbow in the mountain! This tour will take you through an amazing journey with undiscovered lands of typical Andean views where the culture is still intact. You'll see the snow-capped mountain peaks, Andean animals and the highlight of the tour, the painted hills of Rainbow Mountain.

You will be picked up from your hotel in Cusco and be transferred to the restaurant where a solid breakfast is served so you can be ready and have the energy to start the hike. The drive takes around 2.5 hours. Throughout the hike you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate Mountain showing its majestic presence in the horizon. You will experience how locals live in the mountains and even have a chance to speak with them. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain, you'll begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills. The hike from the starting point to the Rainbow Mountain takes around 1.5 hours.

Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the Rainbow Mountain, and finally you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360 degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up the sacred land. Once you are back to the starting point of the hike, you will be provided a lunch buffet. At the end of the tour, you'll return to your hotel in Cusco.

Duration: 1 hour

Destination is great but service is incomplete! unacceptable food with few choices which is a great mistake to start such a hike at altitude without having enough strength to withstand the right food. The driver was in a hurry. He could have been more patient

This was a wonderful day trip, but a very hard and long one. You do need to be acclimated to the altitude and it was very cold at the bottom and top of the mountain. But the view was phenomenal. I rode a horse most of the way while my adult daughter hiked. We easily met up at the top for photos. Our guide was very patient and encouraging. We did not feel rushed at all. Stopped for breakfast and lunch at a local restaurant which was delicious. We had great weather for winter but our guide said the mountain was covered in snow 2 weeks ago and you couldn’t see the colors. So check the weather before you hike. Great experience.

The view is breath taking. Need to be in good shape for the 3-hour hike. Tour leader was very good. The remainders sent by email were a day late.

I loved the whole experience of Rainbow mountain and am so pleased they offer the shorter tour now that has newly opened up....I don't think I could have completed the longer hike. You get a lot of attention and great service from the guides. Fernando and his colleague took excellent care of us the entire time. The locals cooking is excellent and so fresh:) xoxo

We were in awe when we saw the Rainbow Mountain! Truly stunning! The tour was well-organized. Our tour guide Fernando was very sensitive to our needs considering that the mountain climb was quite difficult and slippery. It was really worth it once we made it to the top!

This is a difficult but amazing experience. The tour is very well organized. We were picked up exactly on-time by our driver/guide. Is a long way from central Cuzco so use the time to rest for the actual tour. Breakfast was OK. The needed essentials for the trip. We came from a Caribbean Island, so we live next to sea level. So altitude took a toll on us but we were able to do it. This tour uses a relatively new route, which is shorter than the old one. You will have to walk about one or one and a half hour from the point in which you leave the car until the pick of the mountain. The walk is amazing. Great scenery of the iced mountains, and then, the rainbow mountain makes it even better. Since the route is shorter you can be back at Cuzco at a time still good to go out. Use clothing for cold weather and wind. Use horses if you feel you cannot walk the whole way. My wife and daughter used horses and they were glad they did. The only thing I would suggest to the tour people is to use a slightly bigger car or maybe a small SUV to take the parties to/from the tour. There were four of us and the car was a compact car in which we were slightly cramped. Other than that, this is an amazing experience.

Jose was our guide and he was very friendly and attentive. He is passionate about the his job. Just know that the commute is long and the hike is tough. Be sure to bring warm jackets as the summit is very cold and windy. But it's an once in a life time experience! This tour is highly recommended!

The tour guide, Jose, was fantastic and is highly recommended! We were able to reach the top quickly, giving us enough time to explore more areas. We trekked down to Puma Lagoon and saw chinchillas, an Andean eagle, and even a vicuna; apparently so rare it was a first for our guide! Use this tour.
