Private Full-Day Hike to The Rainbow Mountain, Vinicunca
Around 100 km southeast of Cusco, rests one of the most beautiful wonders of nature: the 7 colour Mountain. This place, also known as the Rainbow Mountain, has an altitude of 5,200 metres above sea level. You are picked up from the hotel early in the morning and transferred to Quesoyuni. Visit Japura on the way, a small Andean community and have breakfast there. Hike towards Kairawiri, starting point of the trek to the impressive 7-Colour Mountain. Enjoy the natural spectacle that you have in front as well as the imposing mountains that also fill the landscape with colour. The trek is surrounded by beautiful sceneries of the Andes and guarded by the majestic Ausangate Mountain, one of the most important mountains of Cusco, considered a sacred entity since the times of the Incas. Once you reach the viewpoint of the 7 colour Mountain, appreciate the surroundings from up high. After the visit head down to Kairawiri to have a box lunch. Return to Cusco and transfer to the hotel.
