Cusco & Rainbow Mountain backpacker package

Start & end in Cusco 6 days Up to 20

About this trip

Six days in and around Cusco built for travellers who want to see the Andes highlights without spending a lot to do it. Expect a mix of city sightseeing, Inca history and one big mountain day.

The centrepiece is Rainbow Mountain, where you'll climb to around 5000m above sea level. The rest of the trip is a steady run through Cusco's main sights and attractions, kept simple and low-cost.

What you'll do

  • Explore the historic centre of Cusco
  • Visit Cusco's main archaeological and cultural attractions
  • Hike Rainbow Mountain, reaching around 5000m altitude
  • Travel as part of a small group throughout
Good to know
  • Budget-focused package, so expect a no-frills, practical setup rather than added extras
  • The Rainbow Mountain hike reaches high altitude — worth arriving in Cusco a day or two early to acclimatise
  • Suits families and groups after a straightforward, sightseeing-led introduction to the region
