Description
Discover Peru’s breathtaking Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) on a full day hiking experience designed for adventure seekers. This natural wonder is famous for its striking layers of red, green, yellow, and purple, formed by unique mineral deposits and only revealed after ice melted a few years ago. Today, it’s one of the Andes’ most iconic and colorful landscapes.
Your guided hike takes you through scenic Andean valleys, past traditional villages, and to panoramic viewpoints where you can rest and take in the dramatic surroundings. Along the way, learn about the mountain’s spiritual importance and the fascinating geology behind its rainbow tones.
For those who want more, you can pre-book access to the spectacular Red Valley, known for its crimson hills and sweeping views. With knowledgeable local guides, safe pacing, and plenty of time to enjoy nature, this activity delivers an unforgettable Rainbow Mountain adventure.

!!! An unforgettable trip!!!
From the very first day, everything exceeded our expectations: the warmth of the people, the rich culture, and the stunning landscapes make Peru a unique destination. We visited incredible places in Lima and Cusco.
The organization of the trip was excellent, with punctual tours, very friendly guides, and comfortable hotels.
One of the most magical moments was visiting Machu Picchu, a place that truly leaves one speechless due to its history and natural beauty, as well as Vinicunca or Winikunka (the mountain of seven colors) and Humantay Lake.
The prices were very reasonable for the services offered.
We spent a total of 9 nights and 10 days in Peru. In general, the tours were very personalized, the groups were well synchronized and ready to enjoy all the places and their attractions.

Excellent Coordination and Personalized Attention
Our family had a wonderful experience with Cusco Andean Tours. The coordination was smooth, professional, and very attentive to every detail. When my wife wasn’t feeling well, they immediately helped us adjust our plans with great care.
I especially want to thank Richard for his excellent work. His dedication, last-minute coordination, and genuine interest in making everything go perfectly made a big difference. A truly outstanding professional who represents the company in the best way possible. Highly recommended!

Amazing.
The road is to enjoy, it can be heavy if you do not like walking but for that you can rent a horse that leaves you almost about to reach the top... The last few meters is the hardest but totally worth it

Excellent experience
It is a high-effort activity, since due to the height it is usually quite difficult to breathe... but it is worth it since the attention you get from the guides, the advice they give you helps a lot
Tip: wear the right shoes and clothing, take a day to acclimatize to the altitude and follow the advice they give you... it's definitely worth the experience to reach the end.

agradecemos su preferencia y elegir Cusco como su destino de vacaciones y tambien agradecemos elegirnos como su agencia preferida
