Itinéraire

1. This tour starts early! Since the route to Rainbow Mountain is a bit long, we’ll pick you up directly from your hotel or accommodation between 4:00 and 4:30 AM—this way, we’ll be among the first to arrive and enjoy this magical place before the crowds.

2. After this, we will drive about 2 hours to the small village of Cusipata, where we will enjoy a group breakfast to recharge before the hike. Afterward, our driver will take us on a scenic 1.5-hour drive to the trailhead, where your guide will provide important instructions and tips for the ascent.

You willl also catch breathtaking views of Ausangate Mountain, the most sacred peak in southern Cusco, revered as the Apu or "Mountain Spirit." After 1.5 hours of hiking, you’ll reach the summit of Rainbow Mountain, where you will have around 40 minutes to soak in the panoramic views, capture incredible photos, and learn about the history and cultural significance of this colorful wonder.

About Cusco

Cuzco, ancienne capitale inca dans les Andes péruviennes, allie murs de pierre massifs et églises coloniales ; porte d'entrée du Machu Picchu.

La Plaza de Armas est le cœur de la ville, encadrée par la cathédrale et l'église jésuite de la Compañía. La maçonnerie inca subsiste dans tout le centre, le plus célèbre étant le Qorikancha, le temple du Soleil sur lequel les Espagnols ont bâti un monastère, et la pierre à douze angles de la rue Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, le quartier des artisans, grimpe en pente raide avec ses ateliers et ses cafés.
