Rainbow mountain trekking (Vinicunca)


Experience the breathtaking Vinicunca, commercially known as the Rainbow Mountain, one of Peru’s most stunning natural wonders! Located just south of Cusco, near the sacred Ausangate Mountain (the region’s guardian Apu), this colorful marvel sits at an impressive 5,200 meters (17,060 ft) above sea level, between the districts of Pitumarca and Cusipata.

Why wait? Witness the surreal rainbow-striped slopes and soak in the breathtaking Andean landscapes surrounding it. Book now our Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Tour and make unforgettable memories!

Vinicunca is nature’s masterpiece—so extraordinary that National Geographic named it “one of the 100 places you must visit before you die.” Don’t miss out—explore this wonder now!


Day 1 - Rainbow Mountain Trek

We'll begin our journey to the 7-Color Mountain (Vinicunca) with a pickup from your Cusco hostel between 4:00-4:30 AM. Our tourist transport will then head south through scenic valleys, passing small lagoons until we reach Paucarpata village, where we'll stop for a delicious breakfast.

After fueling up, we'll continue to Qomer Qocha, the starting point of our hike. From here, we'll begin our 45-minute to 1-hour trek (moderate pace) toward the sacred Rainbow Mountain. Along the way, you'll witness the stunning, gradual shift in the mountain’s colors until we reach the main viewpoint—where the vibrant stripes of Vinicunca unfold before you, framed by the mighty Vilcanota mountain range.

After taking in the views (and plenty of photos!), we’ll descend back to Qomer Qocha and return to Cusco, stopping in Paucarpata for a hearty lunch. Expect to arrive back in Cusco by 5:00-5:30 PM.
