Following another hour's travel, we'll reach the Chillihuani parking area. The ascent to Rainbow Mountain will span roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes, leading us to the foothills of Red Valley, the gateway to the stunning 7-color mountain. Trekking along a trail, the scenery will gradually transform into vibrant mountains and babbling streams, breathing life into the valley. Should you find the trek challenging, horse rentals from villagers are available for approximately 70 soles. Reaching an altitude of 5200 meters, we'll behold the majestic 7 Colors Mountain, capturing timeless moments amidst its colorful landscapes. Our guide will offer insights on the mountain and guidance for those interested in visiting Red Valley (optional) before our return to the parking area.

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
