The 7 Colors Mountain tour starts from the door of your hotel in the center of Cusco (historic center) and ends in the center of Cusco, Plaza Regocio or Plaza San Francisco. Between 04:00am to 04:30am we will be passing by the doors of your hotels, if you are in a remote area or airbnb we will arrange a meeting point to leave Cusco at 05:00am. 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.
We'll embark on a nearly 2-hour journey from Cusco to Cusipata, enjoying a hearty Andean breakfast upon arrival. Keep in mind, we'll be in a remote community, devoid of urban dining conveniences. 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. Reaching an altitude of 5200 meters, we'll behold the majestic 7 Colors Mountain, capturing timeless moments amidst its colorful landscapes. Our guide will offer insights on the mountain and guidance for those interested in visiting Red Valley (optional) before our return to the parking area.
We return to Cusipata, where we will enjoy an Andean lunch. 17:00 approx. We will be back to the city of Cusco. We will leave you in the Plaza Regocijo or San Francisco and we will finish our 7 Colors Mountain tour.

Incredible agency! Super punctual. I loved it and recommend it.
I loved knowing this place, a picturesque setting, with the colors of the mountains, truly unique. I rode a motorcycle and didn't feel sick.
It was a nice experience and a very professional service from the agency.
Very nice experience! The transfer and the guide were very good. It is a demanding hike but very beautiful. It would be good to have another half hour to recover and climb to the top where better photos are taken. At least with my physical condition, I didn't have the breath to do everything so fast! Always bring coca and agua florida, it saves you!
Excellent experience!! My daughters and my son-in-law went up walking, I went up by motorcycle. The landscape both on the route and at the summit is beautiful! The transfers and the guide were professional with good and very punctual transportation. The mountain looks beautiful. The sky as blue as a background for the colors of the mountain was wonderful!
It was incredible!! It is very friendly for going with children because the climb was done on ATVs. The weather was very good, but the El Niño phenomenon made it unpredictable. It snowed 2 days before but fortunately half of the mountain cleared of snow and we were able to see it well.
The logistics of the visit are very well prepared, from the hotel pickup with a very comfortable Van, the guide very attentive, the site is very nice, the walk to the tip of the mountain where Vinicunca is located (Mountain of 7 colors) is very demanding, it is recommended not to do it immediately arrive in Cusco, they must wait at least 2 days to be used to the height and try not to drink liquor or eat heavy meals the night before, the hike is 3.5 km climb that are very demanding, the weather is very cold and with a lot of wind, they must be very warm and wear glasses and gloves, also wear shoes to not slip and be able to step on pools and stones, when reaching the top, the view is spectacular, maybe take time the line for photography but worth it, the descent is just as difficult as exhaustion is felt on return, I recommend to bring energy bars and water
I was worried about making this trail because of the altitude, but I was surprised! I was able to finish without feeling bad! The guide guidelines were essential and the help with the flowering water too! Rs Being acclimatized is really essential! I felt a lot of difference when I did the 7 lagoons, where I was only 2 days away in Cusco, when I did this, which I did after 5 days in the city. Breakfast and lunch very good too! We received a blanket from the agency in the van to cover ourselves as soon as the tour began, because it was quite cold, thanks for the care! I loved and super recommend.
The plan we acquired included climbing a stretch by motorcycle cart, then climbing the mountain on foot, which involves great physical effort..... But the final view, the mountain, the wasteland and in general the whole landscape is worth it. It's a wonderful place.
The whole course is an endless beauty! I went to the horse the first half hour for 70 soles and it was very worth it, but attention: give coke gum inside, take breaks if necessary, because if you don't have physical preparation, tired yes. Our guide guided us with the rests and breaths, very attentive. It was beautiful.
