Rainbow Mountain — Vinicunca in Quechua — sits in the Andes south of Cusco, about three hours by road. The colored stripes come from mineral oxides exposed by retreating glaciers, and Peruways runs guided day tours out there.
Day tours from Cusco include transport, breakfast, lunch, and a Spanish-English guide. The viewpoint is at 5,036 m, reached by a 5 km round-trip hike that gains roughly 350 m from the trailhead. Peruways times departures to get your group to the top before the main wave of tour buses.
Book your Rainbow Mountain day with Peruways. Spend at least two nights in Cusco (3,400 m) first — the altitude at Vinicunca will catch anyone who skips acclimatization.
