The Rainbow Mountain Peru, also known as the Rainbow Mountain of Vinicunca, is a stunningly beautiful piece of landscape in the Ausangate region, a few hours drive from the city of Cusco. As you hike, you will pass through picturesque communities where time seems to have stood still. You will walk past the clay dwellings of the locals and encounter shepherds with their herds of llamas and alpacas. Along the way, you will have a magnificent view of Ausangate Mountain, the highest mountain in the region at 6,385 meters.

Tip: Behind the Rainbow Mountain Peru are the so-called Red Mountains, a beautiful formation of bright red mountains. This mountain formation is also definitely worth a visit, but is often not visited because of the height. However, if you still have energy and time left, then definitely visit the Red Mountains!

NB 1: You start the hike at an altitude of 4326 meters and the Rainbow Mountain Peru itself is at an altitude of over 5000 meters. It is therefore important that you are well acclimatized to the altitude
before you make this excursion.

NB 2: We can arrange an extra donkey for you for an additional charge.

NB 3: In addition to the day excursion, it is also possible to book the 2-day less massive excursion. We would be happy to tell you more about this.

– In addition to being in good physical condition, it is important that you take the time to acclimatize sufficiently to the altitude.
