Rainbow mountain Vinicunca
Get In Peru takes you to explore the 2nd most visited place after Machu Picchu very early in the morning to beat the crowd and take the best photos.
The 2nd most visited place in Cuzco is absolutely spectacular, especially if you are one of the first people up there.
- VISIT:
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.
We’ll descend back to the base camp. After a one-hour drive, we’ll have an included buffet lunch in Cusipata before returning to Cusco city. The tour will end around 5:00 PM at Regocijo Square, one block from the main square.
