Premium Rainbow Mountain Tour from Cusco with Red Valley
From €35 per person
See availability →A premium Rainbow Mountain tour from Cusco that starts very early to reach the trail ahead of the crowds, then goes on to Red Valley, with breakfast and buffet lunch.
This Rainbow Mountain tour from Cusco is built around an early start. Pickup from the hotel is in the middle of the night, so that the group begins walking before the crowds at the foot of the Ausangate range. On the way there is a half-hour breakfast stop in Cusipata and a short briefing before the trail.
The climb to the highest point of Rainbow Mountain takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes. On the walk you may see South American camelids, relatives of the camel, and once you reach the red hill the scenery opens up. The descent over flat ground back to the starting point takes about an hour, and the lunch is a buffet in Cusipata.
