Itinerary:

Our itinerary is tailored to guarantee that our customers will get there before the massive crowds swarm the area.

We pick you up from your hotel and take you on a 3.5-hour bus ride to Vinicunca, where we stop briefly to have a super powerful breakfast made of Andean products such as Quinoa and chocolate before we start our climb to the amazing Rainbow mountains of Peru.

After our delicious breakfast, we will start our slow ascend to the rainbow mountains of Cusco.  The rail to the Rainbow mountains is quite clear with no chances to get lost.

​However, the altitude of this place is a challenge that we must overcome along the way to reach the lookout of these magnificent rainbow mountains.
 It takes about 2.5 hours to make it to the top walking at a slow pace. 

​Our guides will make sure that your experience hiking at this altitude will be a pleasant learning experience.

They will explain to you about the rainbow mountain geology as well as the people and landscape along the way.

​After we enjoy the best views of the rainbow mountain and we take the most beautiful pictures -free of other people interfering- of this unbelievable place, we will start our slow descent down to our starting point, where we will have a tasty lunch before we return back to Cusco.
