Itinerary
We will pick you up from your Cusco hotel at 5:00 am. Then we will drive to the town of Cusipata, located in the South Valley of Cusco, where we will have breakfast. Then we will drive for around a hour to the starting point of our adventure. The trek to Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain is full of amazing landscapes. You will see some highland farms scattered around the place, with numerous herds of llamas and alpacas. After hiking for almost 3 hours, we will reach the summit of the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain. Its colorful appearance contrasts with the surrounding areas. Experts affirm that the colors of Vinicunca come from mineral deposits which were lay up by the nearby glaciers. According to the locals, in the past Vinicunca was under a thick layer of snow, and just in recent years its unusual colors became visible. After spending some time, we will go back to Cusipata, where we will have lunch. Finally, we will back at Cusco at around 6:30 pm.

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.
