Highlights

Discover the colors of the Andes on our one-day hike to Rainbow Mountain with our small groups. In Cusco, we have a mountain full of colors that show us a true rainbow. During our day hike to Vinicunca, you will walk at the base of snow-capped peaks, connect with the locals, and indulge in well-deserved local meals at the best restaurants in the area. This is a tour you must not miss while visiting Cusco. Be amazed by how its colors rest upon a mountain that resembles a hand-painted canvas amidst the peaks, and end this hike with your camera filled with the best memories.

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.
