- Cerro Colorado Vinicunca - The Rainbow Mountain Tour 1 Day, experience the most amazing colors of the Andes Mountains, explore in a full day tour to the most spectacular Vinicunca
Vinicunca or Rainbow Mountain, became one of Cusco’s most popular day tours, where you get to appreciate; yellow, red, ochre, white and turquoise mineral stripes in the mountain lend it wow appeal. From the Cusipata
Pampachiri approach, the 7km round-trip is gentle in grade, reaching a hillside viewpoint facing the mountain. From the top, you have 360-degree views include nearby Ausangate (6384m), the highest mountain in southern Peru. Since the high altitude (reaching above 5000m) takes its toll, try to ascend slowly to conquer the summit of Rainbow hills of Peru.
Rainbow Mountain Peru, however, has breathtaking views easily allow you to forget about the 2 hour struggle you leave behind. The Ausangate glacier on one side and bizarre, colourful peaks on the other.

Magnificent and cozy - Enchanting trip to the natural wonder of Peru!
The experience that leaves you highlighted at 5000 thousand meters above sea level. You need oxygen and surviving the altitude makes for an unforgettable adventure.
The entire tour was well organized from the departure of the hotel to the pick-up or where they dropped you off at the hotel as well and our guide was very welcoming. Thanks for everything!

The Rainbow Mountain hike - a must-see - The Rainbow Mountain trek was the most beautiful valley we’ve ever seen in oye life. Our tour guide came to pick us up at the hotel on time and ran everything perfectly. Despite bouts of rainy weather, he timed things so we summited with the sun.
The altitude is a real factor here so to help you, the guide gave everyone a nice Jasmin spray to open up our nasal passage and some extra coca pick me up. We had all the usual symptoms of altitude sickness - headache, pressure in the eyes, feeling weak and despite all that I made it because the tour guide was patient and encouraging. I’d say you need 2-3 days of acclimatization before you even think of attempting this - it’s over 16,500ft and roughly 7km or 3 miles return. Even with a tiny elevation gain of 338m/1200ft, you’ll feel it. If you can’t get physically do it, you can rent a horse to take you as well. Along the way are many benches and stops, a bathroom (2 soles), and snack vendors.
This is an absolute must-see area if you’re in Peru. Highly recommend this local company and our tour guide,George.
