Rainbow Mountain Trek Full Day

Rainbow Mountain Trek 1 Day Itinerary

Vinicunca, commonly known as the Rainbow Mountain in Peru, is a popular and spectacular trekking destination in the Andes Mountains. The mountain is known for its colorful striped patterns of sedimentary minerals, forming a landscape of reds, purples, yellows, and greens. Hiking up this 17,000 ft peak will reward you with the most incredible views of this surreal landscape. Whether you are a first-time hiker or an experienced climber, this trek is not missed!

We depart from Cusco at 5:30 a.m. Just 3 hours away from Cusco, the walk of the beautiful colorful Andes mountain range begins; we travel to the south of Cusco, where we cross incredible valleys and ravines with spectacular panoramic views, “2 hours of a road trip and 1 hour of travel by dirt road from Cusipata to Llactoc”.

The enchanting colorful mountains lead us to or near the snow-capped Ausangate, where explorers are amazed by the scenic natural landscape “impressive environment of the 07 colors with the snow-capped southern peaks of Cusco”.

In Llactoc, there are three vehicular parking lots; in LLACTOC, the adventurous walk of 70 minutes to the top of the vast mountains of colors BEGINS “the last 18 minutes are uphill with some steps”. Explore the Rainbow Mountain of Peru in its natural environment. The Vinicunca tour takes us through colorful ancient towns where the locals speak the language of the Incas, “Quechua or Runasimi” they preserved the Andes of Peru for hundreds of years where little by little, they reveal the landscape wonders of the wrinkled Andes.
