Between 04:00am to 04:30am we will be passing by the doors of your hotels, if you are in a remote area or airbnb we will arrange a meeting point to leave Cusco at 05:00am. Trip from Cusco to Cusipata: We will have a trip of almost 02 hours from Cusco to Cusipata, here we will have a delicious Andean breakfast.

Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca

We'll embark on a nearly 2-hour journey from Cusco to Cusipata, enjoying a hearty Andean breakfast upon arrival. Keep in mind, we'll be in a remote community, devoid of urban dining conveniences. Following another hour's travel, we'll reach the Chillihuani parking area. The ascent to Rainbow Mountain will span roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes, leading us to the foothills of Red Valley, the gateway to the stunning 7-color mountain. Trekking along a trail, the scenery will gradually transform into vibrant mountains and babbling streams, breathing life into the valley. Should you find the trek challenging, horse rentals from villagers are available for approximately 70 soles. Reaching an altitude of 5200 meters, we'll behold the majestic 7 Colors Mountain, capturing timeless moments amidst its colorful landscapes. Our guide will offer insights on the mountain and guidance for those interested in visiting Red Valley (optional) before our return to the parking area.
