Description

Embark on an unforgettable day trip to Rainbow Mountain, known as Vinicunca, one of Peru's most breathtaking natural wonders. Located in a remote high-altitude area south of Cusco, this iconic landscape, famous for its striking bands of color, rewards every step with once-in-a-lifetime views.

We specialize in small-group tours with early departures from Cusco to help you beat the crowds and enjoy Vinicunca at its most peaceful. Everything is included; just show up, and we handle the rest.

Pickup from your hotel between 3:30 a.m. and 3:40 a.m. in a private van. We drive 2 hours to Cusipata town for an Andean breakfast, then continue to Llantoc village (4,640 m.a.s.l.), where the hike begins. The trail covers 4 km and takes about 1.5 hours to reach Rainbow Mountain at 5,036 m.a.s.l. After enjoying the summit views, we return to Cusco and drop you off at your hotel.
