This tour is perfect for travelers who love adventure, culture, and nature. Along the way, you’ll enjoy stunning mountain views, snow-capped peaks, clear rivers and turquoise lakes, and see alpacas grazing freely, cared for by local Andean families dressed in their colorful traditional clothing.

Combined with a guided visit to Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, this trip offers the perfect balance of history, nature, and adventure. It’s an experience that connects you deeply with the beauty and spirit of the Peruvian Andes.

Rainbow Mountain and Machu Picchu Itinerary

Adventure, culture, and nature

We will pick you up from your hotel around 4:30am – 5:30am and go head south through the Cusipata district (2 hours by bus), where we’ll have breakfast. Then we continue along the road through small villages until we arrive at the community of Hanchipata – Quesiuno (1 hour and 20 minutes by bus), the ideal starting point to walk the route. We will see awesome mountains such as Ausangate, beautiful blue lagoons, and many other natural places. The walk to Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain) will last approximately 3 hours. At this peak, we will savour the view for about an hour, taking photos of the beautiful scenery before descending the path and returning to our bus. We will go back to Pitumarca to have lunch, and then we’ll get back to Cusco.
