Itinerary of your trip 6 Day Rainbow Mountain + Ausangate Trek

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Cusco โ€“ Tinqui โ€“ Upis

      Distance: 8km/ 3 miles Elevation: 3800m- 4200m Hiking time: 2-3 hours Camp: 4200m/ 13,780ft Your guide will meet you in Cusco early in the morning, and take you via private transportation to the starting point of our trek- Tinqui. Here you will enjoy a local lunch, while your gear is being loaded onto pack horses. After lunch you will begin hiking to our first camp. This day we only hike for a few hours until we arrive at the village of Upis. Here you can take a soak in the hot springs, while enjoying coca tea, and relax your muscles until dinner.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Upis โ€“ Puccacpcha Pass - Anata
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Upis โ€“ Puccacpcha Pass - Anata

      Distance: 15km Elevation: 4200m- 4930m- 4700m Hiking time: 7 hours Camp: 4700m/ 15,420ft With two passes to cross today, we wake everyone up at 5am with coca tea brought to your tent and you will fuel up with a big breakfast for the day ahead. The morning starts with a hike up Arapa pass (4958m) before a slight decline to our lunch spot near Lake Puma cocha- a deep blue lake and a perfect stop for a break. Along the way you will see local herders and llamas, Ausangate mountain to your left, and you will have your expert guide explaining the history of the locals and talking about the landscape along the way. After lunch we continue uphill for our second pass for the day (Pucacocha pass-5000m) where if youโ€™re lucky you may see condors and vicuรฑas until descending to our campsite of Anata where you will be surrounded by high mountains and incredible hanging glaciers- watch for the glacier crashing into the lake below! As always camp will be set up for you to change and rest your weary legs and dinner will be prepared.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Anata- Rainbow Mountain (5050M)- Lake Ausangate

After crossing the pass you enter into a bright red valley, a wildly desert landscape with vibrant colors all around, and llamas roaming the ground below- as you approach the top of the pass you will see the beautiful Rainbow Mountain in the distance, but your not quite there! From here you begin descending to a wide valley and continue walking a Peruvian flat until we are presented with one final climb to the Rainbow Mountain. Soak in the sights and enjoy what youโ€™ve worked so hard for. We will enjoy lunch in the surrounding area, and head back down the valley to make our way to the stunning Lake Ausangate where camp will be set up and waiting for you to take a rest.
