Journey through an undiscovered land of wild desert landscapes, snow capped peaks, herds of alpaca, and arrive at the ultimate destination – The “Rainbow Mountain” hidden deep in the Andes.
Throughout your journey you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain towering in the distance. You will experience first hand how locals live in the mountains and even have a chance to speak with them. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the “Rainbow Mountain”, and finally with one last push you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360 degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up this sacred land in Cusco – Perú.

Negatives.-

-Driver was in a rush, with loud music, answer the phone driving, which we consider no responsible about their clients.
-Basic breakfast and lunch
-Our Guide did not have first aid kit and oxygen, highly neccesary for this trip, one of the hikkers got sick and guide was not well prepare for emergencies.
-Guide still needs to improve his english skill, we had better ones in the previous tour we did.
