Overview

  • The Rainbow Mountain tour gives you the chance to enjoy the beauty of the Ausangate glacier in the Vilcanota mountain range, part of the most extensive chain of tropical glaciers on the planet, and the Mountain of 7 Colors. This adventure on Vinicunca mountain is hard to match anywhere else in the world.
  • Getting back to nature, enjoying breathtaking landscapes far from the city, spotting South American camelids in their habitat, breathing pure air and hiking at 5,000 m a.s.l. in the Andes is something that makes us feel alive.
  • This moderate private trek is highly recommended, as it is one of the best experiences in Cusco and Machu Picchu.
