This moderate to difficult hike is a must-see experience for those with an adventurous soul. Rainbow Mountain or Vinicunca is located at 5,200 meters above sea level (17,060ft) and can be reached by foot or horseback once you arrive at the entrance. Even the most unenthusiastic person will be left awestruck at the display of colors arranged by Nature.

This tour includes pick up/drop off in Cusco City, breakfast, lunch, entrance ticket and professional guiding, plus an additional sum if you prefer to go by horseback. The hike is about 1 hour and 20 minutes long each way (4.35 miles roundtrip and 1,318 ft elevation), an important consideration for those with serious health issues as the high altitude is considerable and the steep ascent is about 30 minutes long. The best way to avoid altitude sickness on this trip is to get used to the altitude in Cusco first.

** People with medical conditions exacerbated by high altitude or thin air are NOT permitted on this tour, as well as pregnant women and children 12 years of age and under.
