Rainbow Mountain before the crowds, along with Red Valley

Cusipata

The first stop will be in Cusipata, for 30 minutes, to have breakfast. From there we continue onwards with our journey for another hour and a half, passing through the village of Pitumarce, until Hanchipata-Llama Chimpana, where the hike starts.

You will begin the walk at the foot of the Ausangate mountain range and make your way up the mountain for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. We will then arrive at the highest point of the Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) and the best place to see the incredible colors and the Ausangate snowy peak.

Vinicunca Mountain

This will be the highest point on the mountain, you will have the opportunity to see the different types of South American camelids (relatives of the camels). We will also have the chance to visit the red hill, where we will have time to soak in the scenery and take some beautiful pictures. Please be aware that the red hill entrance fee is not included in the price of the ticket.

Cusco

You will finish the hike with a 1-hour descent into the flat terrain and back to where the walk began. There, the driver will be waiting for you to return to the District of Cusipata where you can enjoy 1 hour of a delicious traditional lunch. Following lunch, we will return to Cusco, arriving at approx. 3:30 p.m.
