Itinerary of your trip Rainbow Mountain Tour - Group Service
- Day 1 Cusco- Rainbow Mountain - Cusco
Cusco- Rainbow Mountain - Cusco
- You will need to wake up early to enjoy this natural marvel at its best. Between 3:30 am and 4:30 am (Weโll reconfirm this information after you provide us the details of your accommodation), weโll pick you up directly from your hotel to start our ride to the south of Cusco through beautiful landscapes of valleys and agricultural communities. First, we will drive for around 2 hours to the town of Cusipata (3,329m / 12,772 ft.).
- After breakfast near Cusipata, we will continue our trip by van, following a beautiful way between the mountains, accompanied by our first views of Ausangate, the highest peak of Cusco. Along the way, we will pass through herds of hundreds of alpacas and llamas and the occasional shepherd or local people moving about their daily activities.
- Our ascent will begin in Phuluwasipata and last about 2 hours, bringing us to our final destination and the highest point on our Rainbow Mountain trek (or Vinicunca trek), at 5,020 mts / 16,470 ft. Here we will stop to admire and appreciate the outstanding views in all directions and the rare geological formations that appear to be painted with exotic colors by Godโs hand. Far below and into the distance are infinite valleys and glaciers as now as one can see. We will stop for about 40 minutes โ the perfect amount of time to rest, to have a snack, and immerse yourself in this wild environment before we must begin our descent, roughly an hour and a half hours towards the point where we started the dayโs hike in Phuluwasipata. There, our transport will be waiting to take us to the restaurant in Cusipata where we enjoy an energizing lunch. We will have time after lunch to visit some of the local households and observe the lifestyle and customs that are still being practiced today since Inca times. Here the native language of Quechua is spoken very well, and agriculture is essential for life.
- Our tour will conclude with an opportunity to meet with local people from the community before making our journey back to Cusco in our private van. We will leave you back at your hotel around 4:30 p.m to 5:30 p.m.
