Overview

Get ready for an unforgettable full-day journey to one of Peru’s most breathtaking natural wonders – Rainbow Mountain, or Vinicunca as it’s also known. Tucked away in the Andes, right by the stunning Ausangate Glacier, this colorful mountain has become a must-see spot in South America, famous for its striking stripes of red, gold, green, and lavender, all thanks to the unique mineral deposits.

What to expect

  1. Rainbow Mountain Peru
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., we’ll pick you up directly from your hotel in Cusco to begin our journey south through scenic landscapes filled with valleys and traditional agricultural communities.

    Our first stop is the town of Cusipata (3,329 m / 12,772 ft), about a two-hour drive away. Here, we’ll enjoy a nutritious breakfast to prepare for the day’s adventure.

    After breakfast, we’ll continue by van along a stunning route through the mountains.

    Our hike begins at Phulawasipata. The trek takes about two hours and brings us to the summit of Rainbow Mountain. Once we arrive at the top of Rainbow Mountain, you will have enough time to absorb the majesty of the red mountains that surround this area.

    After taking in the scenery—and perhaps spotting a condor soaring on the wind—we’ll begin our descent.

    We’ll then return to Cusipata to enjoy a delicious and energizing lunch. Finally, we make our way back to Cusco, arriving between 4:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
