Itinerary and highlights
This amazing tour begins bright and early with our private transport picking you up at 4am from your hotel. Rainbow mountain Peru, also known as Vinicunca is an undiscovered land full of wildly desert landscapes, snow-capped glaciated peaks, herds of alpaca, and pristine beauty. Throughout your journey you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain towering in the distance. You will experience first-hand how locals live in the mountains and even see them hard at work. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the Rainbow Mountain; and finally, on the last push, you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360-degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up the sacred land. You have made it to the ultimate destination – The painted hills hidden deep in the Andes. We’ll have you back around 7pm ready for dinner and full of appreciation for what you have experienced during the day.
