Rainbow Mountain (Mount Vinicunca) - Day Trek Group

Today will begin with an early collection from your hotel in Cusco for the 3.5-hour drive to the start of the trek. Beginning from Chillca, at 3,700 m/12,139 ft elevation, it's around a 4-hour, uphill hike to reach the famous Rainbow Mountain. Along the way, you will enjoy amazing views of the Andes, glacial peaks, red mountains, rocky hills, along with llamas and alpacas grazing along the valley.

Once you arrive at the top of Rainbow Mountain, you will have enough time to absorb the majesty of the red mountains that surround this area. You will also see amazing views of the valleys and Ausangate Glacier Peak in front of you. Ausangate is the tallest mountain of the Cusco region (just under 21,000 ft elevation) and is part of the Cordillera Vilcanota Range.

After taking in the view, you'll descend back to transport for the drive back to your hotel in Cusco.
