Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley Full Day

$30.00

The Rainbow Mountain in Peru has recently become one of the most popular one-day hikes in the Cusco region. With more than 5,000 meters (16,000 ft), Rainbow Mountain and the Red Valley are truly two unforgettable attractions in the Ausangate region.

Vinicunca, Rainbow Mountain, or the Colored Mountain are some of the few names of this fantastic place, a relatively new tourist attraction in Cusco. We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and drive for 3 hours to the trailhead, where your local chef will serve a picnic breakfast with amazing views of the Vilcanota Mountain range. After breakfast, start a 2-hour hike to the top of Rainbow Mountain. The walk is challenging due to its high altitude, but it’s absolutely worth it once there.

The Red Valley is just meters from Rainbow Mountain; after enjoying it, you can reach the iron-rich soil landscapes. Then, you will continue to hike down to the trailhead, where your trekking chef will be waiting with a fresh picnic lunch prepared with local products.

TreXperience’s tours provide door-to-door service (we pick you up from your hotel and drive you back to your hotel), private transportation, an exclusive tour guide, trekking chefs, picnic meals, all entry fees, and the necessary equipment to hike this painted hill of Vinicunca.
