Itinerary

1. Cusco
Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco at approximately 4:30 a.m. Travel toward the southern highlands, passing traditional villages, farmland, valleys, and beautiful mountain scenery along the way.
2. Cusipata
After approximately two hours, stop at a local restaurant for a warm breakfast. Enjoy coffee or coca tea, use the restrooms, and prepare for the hike ahead. Then continue to the trailhead near Rainbow Mountain. Before beginning the hike, your guide will explain the route, review the main safety recommendations, and share helpful advice for walking at high altitude.
3. Vinicunca
The hike to Vinicunca usually takes between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on your pace, the weather, and how your body responds to the altitude. The trail begins with a gradual climb before becoming steeper near the top. Your guide will set a comfortable pace and stop whenever needed. Along the way, walk through wide Andean landscapes with views of the Ausangate region. You may also see local herders, llamas, and alpacas. Your guide will share stories about the area, its communities, and its natural features. At the Rainbow Mountain viewpoint, take time to rest, capture memorable photos, and admire the colorful slopes of Vinicunca. Your guide will explain how different minerals in the soil and rock created the mountain’s remarkable colors.
Duration: 180 mins
4. From Rainbow Mountain, continue toward Red Valley, a spectacular landscape of deep red hills and wide-open views. This area is usually quieter than the main viewpoint, allowing you to enjoy the scenery in a more peaceful setting. After exploring Red Valley, follow the trail back to the starting point while enjoying the surrounding mountains and high-Andean landscapes.
Duration: 40 mins
5. Cusipata
After the hike, drive back to the local restaurant for lunch. Take time to relax and enjoy a freshly prepared meal made with local Peruvian ingredients.
