Description

Journey through an undiscovered land of wild desert landscapes, snow-capped peaks, herds of alpaca, and arrive at the ultimate destination – The “Rainbow Mountain” hidden deep in the Andes. Throughout your journey, you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain towering in the distance. You will experience first hand how locals live in the mountains and even have a chance to speak with them. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the “Rainbow Mountain”, and finally with one last push, you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360-degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up this sacred land in Cusco – Perú.

The mountain is photogenic, but think of your suffering

The agency did a good job, the guide was very good and the mountain gives beautiful photos But I don't think it's worth it, it's just an attraction of the moment. It is a lot of suffering to get there, rise in the morning travels a total of almost 4 hours, in a super uncomfortable journey, because the space is tight, the road of many bumps in the van. Arriving there in the parking lot, you start the walk up the mountain, the bathroom services are precarious, but all when you are in an unhospitable place. Climbing up the mountain is difficult, you will probably suffer terrible headaches due to altitude. You will take your photos and return another 4 endless hours of extremely uncomfortable travel. You will arrive very, but very tired in your lodging. And you will wonder if you should visit other must-see attractions of Cusco, such as the wonderful Inca ruins, the museums, the various magnificent archaeological sites that has in Cusco. Do not exchange the wonderful history present in Cusco for the day suffered visiting the mountain, just for a photo

Day Trip

Such an incredible area of Cusco, definitely you should not leave until you see the Rainbow Mountain. The hike itself was 1.5 hoursdue to extremely high elevation, certainly went a lot slower than normal. Had an option of taking a horse back till 75% of the way which most people did. Highly reccomend this tour.

Excellent place

Our TRAVEL PERU BEST tour was great, everything was organized perfectly. First we get up early a little loose, but when you arrive you could spend all the time there watching all the landscapes, the road to get there has effort but it is worth doing.

Challenging but rewarding

We saw plenty of photos on social media and were eager to hike up the Rainbow Mountain. We found a good deal with Alexander , Travel Peru Best. The hike was somewhat challenging, although it is highly recommended to do this only once you are climatised in Cusco. Alexander is a wonderful guide and has extensive knowledge and was very friendly and helpful. The ffod they offered us was freshly prepared and was simply delicious. Felt safe, as Alexander carried bottly of oxygen shots to ensure that we did not have issue whilst hiking. Nice trip with a professional and good local tour company.
