Overview

Discover the breathtaking Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca), one of Peru's most spectacular natural wonders. This 13-hour tour begins with an early morning pickup from your Cusco hotel, followed by a scenic bus journey to the village of Cusipata at 3,570 meters above sea level. After a energizing breakfast, we'll continue to the Chillihuani community where we'll begin our 2-hour trek through mountainous landscapes to reach the famous colorful mountain. Vinicunca is known for its unusual and beautiful stripes of color - maroon, gold, lavender, red, green, and other hues that result from the unique mineralogical composition in the area.

Top Highlights

Marvel at the extraordinary natural phenomenon of Rainbow Mountain with its vibrant stripes of color created by mineral deposits over millions of years. Enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding landscapes including the valley, Red Valley, and the imposing Ausangate mountain in the distance. Spot native Andean wildlife including llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and if lucky, Andean condors soaring overhead. Experience both breakfast and lunch buffets featuring local Peruvian cuisine. Learn about the geological significance and cultural importance of this recently discovered natural wonder that has quickly become one of Peru's most photographed landmarks, all with the guidance of knowledgeable local experts.
