Itinerary
Our representative will collect from your hotel between 3:30 and 4:00 am and drive to Cuscipata for 2 hours, where we'll stop to get breakfast, then we keep driving for another hour to reach the village of Llacto, 4,620 meters, where the hike begins. The hike will take around 1:30 hours ascending until it reaches the Rainbow Mountain, located at 5,036 meters above sea level.
Your guide will provide you with all the necessary information about the colors, local traditions, the Andean religion, and much more. After you have explored the entire area, you will be able to hike towards the Red Valley, where you'll be amazed by the imposing reddish colors formed naturally by the different minerals. Once you have done with it, you will make your way back to the bus station, where you'll board the bus and drive to Cusipata to get the lunch.
In the afternoon, we will drive back to Cusco and drop you off at your hotel.
