The Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour, or Vinicunca as it’s called in Quechua, is an absolute must-see when you’re near Cusco, Peru. This trek leads you to the breathtaking 7 Color Mountain, where you’ll be blown away by the vibrant, multi-hued slopes and the stunning panoramic views of the snow-capped Andes.
As you hike, you’ll have an experienced local guide by your side, fluent in English, Spanish, and Quechua, who will share fascinating stories about the area’s geology, culture, and history. This tour is perfect for those short on time in Cusco but eager to soak in the incredible natural beauty of Peru. If you find yourself feeling a bit worn out or in need of a little help, there’s an optional horseback ride available to take you to the summit.
The real highlight of Rainbow Mountain is its striking natural colors—think red, green, yellow, lavender, and turquoise—all created by mineral deposits over millions of years and revealed through glacial erosion. The result is a one-of-a-kind, painterly landscape that’s a dream for photographers, nature enthusiasts, and adventurers alike.
Get ready to immerse yourself in the stunning Andes scenery, enjoy high-altitude trekking, and dive into Peruvian culture on this unforgettable Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour!
Your Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour begins with an early 4:00 to 4:30 AM hotel pickup in Cusco. We drive 1.30 hours to Cusipata, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Andean breakfast and can purchase snacks or drinks for the trek.
From Cusipata, we continue 1.30 hours to Chillihuani, the trailhead for the hike. The moderate 1.5-hour ascent brings you to the summit of Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain) at 5,000 meters / 16,404 ft, offering stunning views of the colorful slopes, Ausangate Mountain, and the high Andes landscapes. Take time for photos, meditation, and enjoying the scenery.
After the summit, we descend 1 hour back to the transport, drive back to Cusipata for lunch, and then return to Cusco, arriving around 4:00 PM.
