See availability →A Rainbow Mountain day trip from Cusco: a guided hike to Vinicunca past green valleys, alpacas and Ausangate, with breakfast, lunch and hotel transfers.
The Rainbow Mountain day trip from Cusco, to Vinicunca, is one long day on foot in the high Andes. You are collected at your Cusco hotel, driven to the trailhead, and the guide leads the hike through a green valley with Ausangate rising in the distance.
The last stretch crosses a red mountain valley that feels like another planet. At the top, which stands over 16,000 feet high, you take in views of snow-capped peaks in the Vilcanota Range. Along the route you may see remote villages, llamas and alpaca herds.
