Rainbow Mountain Tour
- Your tour guide will come to pick you up at 5:00 am at your respective hotel. We will board our private van and go to the town of Cusipata. During the trip, we will go through different villages and enjoy the incredible views of the Peruvian Andes. The journey is about 2 hours, and Cusco’s elevation is 3300m / 11,300ft. The trailhead called Phulawasipata is at 4200m/ 14,300ft.
- On arrival in Cusipata, stop to enjoy a delicious breakfast and stock up on some things necessary to start the hike. After this short stop, we will continue our trip an approximate 50 minutes to observe the landscapes, the mysterious mountains and the deep valleys.
- Arrive at Phullawasipata. From here, the hike begins uphill for two hours until you reach the Rainbow Mountains.
- Upon reaching the top of the 5100 meters above sea level, on the way, you see glacial peaks, red mountains, rocky hills, and traditional llamas and alpacas grazing along the valley. When you reach the top of the mountain at 5038 masl, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Andes and the Andean fauna. All the mountains surrounding this area are red, with stunning views of the valleys and the mysterious Rainbow mountain, where we will have enough time to take pictures and videos.
- Afterwards, we will begin to descend, taking a detour towards the Red Valley. The name is due to the earth's unique pigmentation with an intense reddish colour due to abundant minerals. This road will be more special because perhaps we will be one of the only groups on this route. The road will last between 1 - 1:30 minutes to reach Phullawasipata, where our transport will be waiting to take us to enjoy a delicious lunch in Cusipata.
- Later on, we will return to Cusco; we will arrive in the city at 4:00 PM and then leave you in your respective hotel.
