Full day: Trek to Rainbow Mountain from Cusco

Start & end in Cusco 1 days Up to 20

About this trip

A full day out from Cusco to Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain, with its bands of colour running across the ridges. You trek up through the Andean landscape to reach the viewpoint, with a guide leading the way.

It is a moderate hike at high altitude, so the walking itself is part of the challenge as much as the scenery.

What you'll do

  • Trek up to the Rainbow Mountain viewpoint
  • Take in the striped mineral colours of the Vinicunca ridges
  • Walk through Andean mountain scenery en route
  • Fully guided throughout the day
Good to know
  • Moderate difficulty at high altitude, so some fitness and acclimatisation help
  • A long day trip out and back from Cusco rather than an overnight stay
