Highlights

Reach Rainbow Mountain the easy way: by ATV instead of a long high-altitude trek. After hotel pickup in Cusco and a semi-buffet breakfast, you ride a single or double ATV through the Andean highlands, almost to the top of Vinicunca. From there it is only an 8 to 10-minute walk to the upper viewpoint at 5,036 m (16,522 ft), where you have about 30 minutes for photos of the colored slopes and the Ausangate glacier. Feeling the altitude? A lower viewpoint is just 4 to 5 minutes away. A bilingual guide accompanies you all day, and a semi-buffet lunch is included before the return to Cusco.

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.
