Our first stop will be after 2h (78km), in the community of Paucarpata (CUSIPATA) where we will rest and we will be able to buy water or energizing drinks, snacks, cereals, etc. and also enjoy our buffet breakfast. Afterwards, we will continue on our transport by road for about 1 hour where we will arrive at the PHULAWASIPATA base camp and prepare to make the hike, a climb of approximately 2 hours (3.5 km). During this journey we will have the opportunity to see the impressive Hatun Ritti glacier (4825m), the different varieties of South American camelids and the wonderful reflection of the landscape accompanied by the Puka Qocha and Qomer Qocha lagoons.
Upon arriving at the Color Mountain we will have enough time to take pictures of this enigmatic and incredible place. Then we will return to the base camp, descending for approximately 1h30 (3.5km), where we will take our transport to Paucarpata and enjoy our delicious lunch. Finally, around 6 pm we will be in the imperial city of Cusco, where we will take you to your hotel.

Very good! - Very difficult walk due to altitude (around 1h and 40 min of climb), but very cool and the views are amazing!! I always recommend bringing local cash in kind if you need to buy something (water, chocolate, etc.).

Lots of people, but it's cool. - Lots of people, but it's cool. I've been to other higher mountains and I've never seen oxygen bottles so close... You have to go well acclimatised!

Amazing rainbow mountain - Despite the high altitude, we loved our tour at the rainbow mountain. Our guide assisted us and advised us with the best spots where to take pictures from. We really appreciated the tour organised by Peru grand travel

Adventure, beautiful landscape - It was very challenging but also very fun, I almost get to laugh at my mother-in-law riding for the first time, I realized the dream of seeing the snow and it was a beautiful day.

Surprisingly - Very beautiful and the guide very cool! He managed to give us strength to continue the Kkkkk ascension. We pick up horses right at the beginning for climbing and decide (we pay 100 soles per person), and I highly recommend because the horses leave to a certain point, and the steepest part of the mountain has stairs but we have to climb alone so it is good to be rested. The altitude really makes you tire very quickly and get short of breath, but slowly without rush it is sublime. One of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen, very well worth it!!

Overcoming - This walk was one of the most anticipated, although the very arduous walk and altitude was sensational! In the end came the reward of duty fulfilled and having managed to overcome every rise. Has help from horses and the local residents was well assisted. I recommend

Intense walk - This was our second ride with Peru Grand Travel agency. The first one (Machu Picchu) was impeccable, as we were not so satisfied.
Unfortunately, we had no luck with the weather. We found a lot of rain and hail as we went down the mountain. Shame, but it's part of it. As an opportunity for improvement, I would like to mention a few points:
We were surprised to see that the ride was made by an external agency and not with Peru Grand Travel. For the next one, I think it would be important for them to provide that visibility and transparency from the outset.
The guide who accompanied us was friendly and attentive; however, he did not give us any information or story about the mountain, local communities, etc. Being a guided tour, we hoped to learn more.
As for the drop-off, it was not clear that it would be in the square and not in our hotels. We were lucky enough to walk past our hotel on the way back, and we were dropped off there. Otherwise, we would have had to walk around with our shoes wet and pretty tired.
Thank you!

Mandatory place and beautiful. Tired too. - The colorful mountains are really beautiful, and a must-see sacred place. However, it is high altitude and tiring to get there. There is the option to go by horse, which makes it easy for everyone to arrive without problems. The horse drivers are friendly and responsible. It's about 120-140 more soles per person to rent a horse. La on top is beautiful and great for taking pictures. And there are baths of 20-20 minutes during the trail.
