Highlights
  • Chillihuani - To visit the colorful mountain Vinicunca and Valle Rojo, we will pick you up from your hotel at 4:00 a.m. to board our tourist transport.

• We will head south of Cusco to Quiquijana, where we will enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast.

After breakfast, we will continue our journey for a few more minutes and take a detour to the community of Chillihuani and the checkpoint.

After a short drive, we will arrive at Phulawasipata (vehicle parking), from where we will begin our excursion. Here, you will have the option to rent horses to reach the mountain.

  • Rainbow Mountain Peru - Before starting the hike, our guide will provide some recommendations for our adventure to La Montaña de Colores. Along the way, we will have the chance to observe magical landscapes, flora, and fauna such as llamas, alpacas, vizcachas, vicuñas, and even condors. Our hike will last approximately 2 hours to Montaña de Colores or Montaña de 7 Colores, located at about 5,082 meters above sea level.

From the highest part of the mountain, we will enjoy a panoramic view of the Vinicunca mountain with its vibrant colors. We will also have the opportunity to see the Ausangate mountain (the fifth highest mountain in Peru, with a maximum altitude of 6,372 meters above sea level).

  • Quiquijana - After visiting the red valley, we will walk back to the vehicle parking lot, where our driver will be waiting for us (the same transport that took us to the mountain will return us to Cusco). After approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, we will arrive at a restaurant in Quiquijana to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch.

We will then board our transport and return to Cusco, marking the end of our service. Drop-off will be in the historic center of Cusco.

Our guide will ensure you have ample time at each location to take the best possible photographs and create lasting memories of the place.
