Cusco - Cusipata - The Rainbow Mountain

Tucked away in the Ausangate Natural Reserve, the Rainbow Mountain has been a sacred site for local people since ancient times, long before the Inca rule. This breathtaking destination has been a place of worship and offering, a tradition that continues to this day.

Join us on a guided day trip from Cusco, departing before sunrise and traveling along the southeast road to Cusipata town for a fresh breakfast. As we approach, marvel at the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Andes, including the spectacular “Apu Ausangate” glacier, which has made this attraction one of Cusco’s most popular destinations. Keep an eye out for alpacas, llamas, and sheep along the way!Our 3-hour guided hike takes you up the painted hills of Rainbow Mountain, followed by a leisurely stroll through the Red Valley.

Capture the iconic Instagram moment upon arrival and interact with the locals and their alpaca partners, whose culture has remained intact throughout history. After lunch, we’ll begin our journey back to Cusco, arriving by late afternoon.
