Trip from Cusco to Cusipata: We will have a trip of almost 02 hours from Cusco to Cusipata, here we will have a delicious Andean breakfast. It is important to remember that we will be in a community far away from Cusco and we will not have the comforts of a city restaurant.

Following another hour's travel, we'll reach the Chillihuani parking area. The ascent to Rainbow Mountain will span roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes, leading us to the foothills of Red Valley, the gateway to the stunning 7-color mountain.
Trekking along a trail, the scenery will gradually transform into vibrant mountains and babbling streams, breathing life into the valley.
Should you find the trek challenging, horse rentals from villagers are available for approximately 70 soles.
