Itinerary and highlights

We will be at your hotel punctually to pick you up at the scheduled time. After the pickups, we will go to Cusipata, where the trip lasts two and a half hours until we reach the point where we will enjoy our breakfast.

Arriving at this place at approximately 6:20 a.m., we will be welcomed with our delicious buffet breakfast. After enjoying this morning delight, our guide will provide us with the necessary instructions to begin our exciting adventure in the all-terrain vehicles that will take us to Qosqopata, located 4900 meters above sea level. The vehicle journey usually takes around an hour. Then, we will continue the experience walking for 35 minutes, covering a distance of 1.5 kilometers, until we reach the impressive viewpoint of the 7-color mountain, which rises to 5038 meters above sea level.

Our guides will accompany you throughout the entire journey on ATVs from the community of Japurá, where our base is located. From this point, you will witness unique landscapes, surrounded by mountains, rivers, snow-capped mountains and the presence of high Andean animals, such as llamas and alpacas, in their natural habitat, herded by locals. The culmination of this experience is the impressive Seven Color Mountain, a visual gift that seems to have been painted by the gods, leaving us a legacy that honors our ancestors. In this majestic place, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the grandeur of nature, capturing the best moments in photographs and videos. Our guides will offer you detailed explanations about the geomorphological formations, the origin of the mountain and the fascinating variety of colors.

After enjoying the viewpoint of the 7-color mountain, we will get on our all-terrain vehicles to head back to the city of Cusipata, where a delicious lunch awaits us. After finishing this tasty meal, we will begin the return to Cusco, arriving around 4:30 p.m. on average. With this, we will conclude our tour, leaving the participants at their respective hotels.
