- Vinicunca Mountain - At a pre-arranged time, the operator will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco to head towards Collasuyo, located south of the ancient Inca capital (Cusco), which was part of the Tawantinsuyo (the four ancient regions of the Incas). The first stop will be after a 2-hour drive (78km) at the community of Paucarpata (CUSIPATA), where there will be a chance to rest and purchase water, energy drinks, snacks, cereals, etc., and also enjoy a buffet-style breakfast. The journey will then continue by transport for about 1 hour to reach the base camp of PHULAWASIPATA, where preparations will be made for a hike, an ascent of approximately 2 hours (3.5km). Along this route, there will be the opportunity to see the impressive Hatun Ritti glacier (4825m), various types of South American camelids, and the stunning landscape reflections accompanied by the Puka Qocha and Qomer Qocha lagoons.
Upon reaching the Rainbow Mountain, there will be ample time to take photos of this enigmatic and incredible place. Afterwards, the group will return to the base camp, descending for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes (3.5km), where transportation will be taken back to Paucarpata to enjoy a delicious lunch. Finally, around 6 PM, the group will arrive back in the imperial city of Cusco, where the operator will take you to your hotel.

Amazing Peru - It was an amazing experience, we did the 4 day Inka trail, where I was told words to express all our emotion. Colorful mountain is really wonderful. And to complete the sun blessed our walk every day.
I super indicate!!!! Very attentive and committed company.
At first my contact was with Ubaldina who sold the package and after the support and attention was with Carla, an unusual attention.
All guides are amazing. Careful and attentive.
Thank you!!!

Rainbow Mountain- A Breathtaking Journey. - The Rainbow Mountain hike delivered an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, culture and richness, and just right amount of challenge.
Trail and Scenery
1. As you climb gradually through rolling puna grassland, you will pass grazing alpacas and gentle llamas, framed by distant snow- capped peaks.
2. Out tour operator company Peru Grand Travel made an excellent arrangement. They provided the walking poles, breakfast and a lunch.
3.the weather can change quickly, so layers are essential.
Over all a great experience.

Amazing and Surreal Visual Experience in the Colorful Mountain - Visiting the Colorful Mountain was an unforgettable experience, but the challenge of altitude is real.
Since I did not intend to make the complete walk, I chose to ride a bike and it was the best decision: the journey is super fast and practical. The personnel who make the transport is extremely attentive and helpful, which passes a lot of safety. And it is important to warn that even if you do not walk all the time, the altitude tired the body quite a bit. There is a final stretch, a final summit to get to the highest point, which I ended up not climbing because of the physical fatigue and the rarefied air. However, even without reaching this peak, the view from where I stopped is simply wonderful and very well worth it.
I highly recommend the walk, but respect the limits of your body!

You must see rainbow mountain! - We opted to visit Palccoyo , the lesser known Rainbow Mountain. The hike is a bit shorter and easier, but you still reach 5000 m. I recommend this hike, his particular mountain, if you are unsure if you can do the longer hike in this altitude. It is a very beautiful hike and a must-do.
I am giving it only 4 out of 5 because the logistics were not as good as in the other tours that we took. The van was in poor shape. The very charming guide had to double as driver which left less time for explanations. His English was not really great. The meals were acceptable, but not more than that. After we had returned to the hotel, I called our tour operator and advised him of our concerns.
Aside from these particular concerns, it is a super interesting tour.
