Description

We'll pick you up from the hotel in Cusco to travel to Valle Sur for two hours to the community of Cusipata, where we can have breakfast. We recommend you wear light clothing. The hike to Rainbow Mountain takes about two hours, and on the way, you'll see alpacas, birds, lakes, plateaus, streams, and even some snow-capped mountains. Once there, you'll be at Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca. It's a unique place where the landscape looks like it's been painted with a brush. We'll have time to take photos and stroll around. At the time of coordination, the descent started around 1:30 p.m. When we get to Llaqto, we'll head back to Cusipata. After a relaxing lunch, we'll board the transport back to Cusco.
