Itinerary and highlights

Also known as Raibow Mountain, Vinicunca Mountain, which in Quechua means mountain of colors, is characterized by its beautiful and impressive soil of colors, due to minerals and eroding stones that line up in stripes forming a rainbow-like figure.

To get to this wonder of nature we must get up very early, but very early, at approximately 4:30 am we will pick you up at the hotel to travel to the town of Pitumarca, where we will have a small snack (basic breakfast) before starting the Hike to the mountain.

The climb to the mountain is not extremely difficult, but to reach the top walking, it is ideal to be in good physical condition, you can also choose to rent a horse and climb mounted on the one led by a guide, this can cost you between US $ 25 and US $ 35 per person.

After reaching the top, appreciate the majestic mountain and take some fun photos, we will descend back to the town of Pitumarca.

Already in the camp we will have a time to taste a delicious lunch typical of the region, we will rest a few minutes and then we will take the bus back to Cusco, it is estimated to reach the city by averaging 5:30 p.m.
