An early start is essential to beat the crowds to Vinicunca, or Rainbow Mountain, as it’s better known. Head off early from your Cusco hotel for the town of Cusipata, where your guide will give you a safety briefing. You’ll then begin your 6-hour hike to the 7-color mountain viewpoint. During the trek, you’ll pass through a variety of ecosystems including the Ausangate Valley, home to a number of South American camelids, such as alpacas and vicunas. Take in the stunning views of the valley, dotted with small lakes, and the Ausangate Glacier, before reaching the colorful mountain. Admire the views from the 7-color mountain viewpoint, and take plenty of photographs, before returning to the starting point for a buffet lunch. You’ll then return to your Cusco hotel, arriving back in the early evening.
