Rainbow Mountain

We will depart from Cusco around 04:30 a.m. heading south of the city, for a journey of approximately two hours, until we reach the town of Cusitapa, where we will enjoy a delicious breakfast. We will continue our trip for another hour, reaching Phulawasipata at 4,600 meters above sea level, where we will begin our hike. During the walk, we will see agricultural sites, canyons, and snow-capped mountains. The moderate ascent will take about an hour and a half, and we will be able to appreciate a variety of South American camelids, impressive ecosystems typical of the area, and a stunning view of the Apu Ausangate. Around 10 a.m., we will reach our destination, Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain, or Mountain of Colors, at 5,200 meters above sea level, where we will have 30 minutes to take in the best views of the area. After enjoying Vinicunca, we will return to Cusco using the same means of transport, enjoy a delicious lunch in Cusipata, and arrive back in Cusco around 16:30 p.m.
