Itinerary
We will have our breakfast at a restaurant and this is where the trek starts. We set off uphill alongside a babbling mountain stream and herds of alpaca into the next valley. Here, weather permitting, you may get your first glimpse of our target. The trek up to the mountain will take around 2 hours from here depending on your fitness level. Up on top, we will take a well-deserved break and have some snacks. This is also your opportunity to catch your breath and enjoy the stunning views. This is where you will be so glad you brought your camera! After this we will set of on the trek back down to the trailhead (about 2 hours). This part of the trek you will find much easier. Back in the mountain community you will have lunch at our restaurant placed in Anchipata and take a bit more time to relax. The driver and our private vehicle are waiting to take you back to Cusco (3hr) for a drop-off at Plaza Regocijo arriving around 5 pm

I cannot recommend KPC highly enough! I arrived in Urubamba hoping to visit Rainbow Mountain, but had not booked a tour in advance. Franklin and his team were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and even arranged door-to-door transit from my hotel, despite the fact that I was staying outside Cusco. I was anxious about the altitude and being prepared for weather, but the company made sure everyone in our group was outfitted with the proper attire and they were ready to respond in case of altitude sickness. I felt like I was in such good hands. Highly recommend!
The tour was good, not great. Our tour guide was super nice. I am sorry I don't recall her name, but we were called the "Champions." We opted for the horse/donkey/mule ride. It would have been a nice ride, but the guy kept running, and so the horse/donkey/mule kept running. I ended up falling in the mud (it was funny though lol) because the saddle was loose. I don't know why he was mad. LOL Two of my friends was sick from the bumpy and windy road and our tour guide took good care of them! PLEASE DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF HIGH ALTITUDE SICKNEED, even if you are an avid hiker. I highly recommend this tour.
