Itinerary
5:30 am Departure from your hotel in Cusco and drive to Cusipata, in private transport, for about 1.30 hours. Then another 1.30 hours to Llonto where you will begin the Vinicunca rainbow mountain hike. We will start our hike of about 1.30 hours to Vinicunca (5040m) the colorful rainbow mountain. The first stretch is not difficult but if you feel the altitude then you are welcome to hire a horse. Along the way, we will see the local farmers and many llamas and alpacas. Then the altitude will test you on the first climb for about 15 minutes until arriving at a platform bringing you up close to the rainbow mountain where you can have a coca tea before the final climb for another 15 minutes. After the final climb, you can catch spectacular views of Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain and the gorgeous snow-covered Ausangate (6372m).
