We begin our tour to the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain by picking you up from your hotel at 4:50 A.M. in Cusco city in a van. Then, we’ll continue with a 2-hour drive to the town of Cusipata for breakfast.
After that, we’ll drive for another hour to Chillihuani, where the hike will start. The trek will take approximately two and a half hours round trip, starting at an altitude of 4,700 meters, with the goal of reaching 5,028 meters.
Once we reach the top, we’ll enjoy the stunning view of the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain and the surrounding snow-capped peaks from the viewpoint. We’ll spend around 30 to 45 minutes at the site, depending on your walking pace and weather conditions.
