Very close to Cusco City is the amazing Rainbow Mountain or also called the Mountain of 7 Colors. If you are one of the people who are looking for an exciting day outside the city of Cusco and you also like hiking, this is a perfect alternative. Get ready to enjoy this natural wonder located deep in the Andes, where you can also find local communities that live isolated from the hustle and bustle of the cities, near these communities we can appreciate llamas, alpacas that are the perfect complement to the Andean landscape

We will start the day very early to fully enjoy this natural wonder, between 03:30 am and 04:00 am, we will pick you up from your hotel to head south of the city of Cusco. The initial trip will take approximately 1 hour and a half to our first stop Cusipata. There is the restaurant where we will enjoy an appetizing breakfast. Later, we will continue with the trip for 1 hour and a half to Fulawasipata (4,660 meter above sea level), here we will explain the previous route to the Mountain of 7 Colors. From there, at the foot of the sacred snowy Ausangate, our trek will begin.

The stretch of ascent to the Rainbow Mountain is approximately two hours and is located at 5,200 meters above sea level. During our tour we will have the opportunity to observe llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas. Upon reaching the “red hill” we will have enough time to rest, enjoy the impressive landscape and take pictures of the Vinicunca mountain or Rainbow Mountain that will show us its impressive colors: red, pink, turquoise, yellow, etc. Then, it will be time to start the way back. We will descend for 1 hour towards flat terrain and we will arrive at the place where our trek began: Fulawasipata. There our car will be waiting for us to take us to a restaurant where we will enjoy an invigorating lunch. Finally, we will return to the city of Cusco making our arrival between 4:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
