Throughout your journey you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the snow capped peak of Ausangate towering in the distance. You will see hundreds of roaming alpaca, and have the chance to truly see how Quechua people live. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mtn you will 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 how it was formed, 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 the sacred land. Red Valley Included! There will be snacks on top and time for a break to soak up the vistas and enjoy the beauty around us. After an hour you will embark for your hike down (2-3 hours), where you will have a gourmet lunch prepared by a chef in a traditional mud-house and depart back to Cusco. Arriving around 4-5pm.

DO NOT MISS THIS if you are going to Cusco. We absolutely loved our trek to rainbow mountain! Our guide Jacob was the best!!! So kind, fun, knowledgeable, and really looked out for us. He also doubled as an amazing photographer as well!! We are moderate hikers and this was a challenge due to the lack of oxygen, but the view at the top is incredible and makes the hike more than worth it! We took many breaks on the way up to catch our breath, which is half the fun to stop and look because there is more than just rainbow mountain to see on this hike. You recover your breath really quickly I might add for anyone who is nervous. Just go slow and take a break when you need to. The surrounding mountain landscapes are stunning and other-worldly! Flashpacker wasn’t lying when they said we would be the first ones to the top. We were, and it was a special moment to be up there alone before all the crowds. Plus the pictures without a bunch of people are always a plus! The people were starting to roll in on our trek back to the car. The included breakfast and lunch were both delicious! We are so glad we did this, it has been a highlight of our trip and I would highly recommend it to everyone I know. Book it!!

My partner and I had the best experience with Flashpacker and their teams. Our morning started very early to beat the crowds which is 100% worth it. Our driver, David, kept us very comfortable with warm blankets for the drive to the trail base. Our guide, Rosbel, made sure we were as prepared as could be and clearly communicated what the experience was going to look like. The trail is tiring considering the altitude but I felt very supported the entire way, even being the slowest of the group. ???? The views are worth every second, Rosbel’s knowledge on the area was great to learn and seeing the Red Valley was an additional bonus to Rainbow Mountain. The lunch included catered to our Plant Based dietary needs (beyond expectations) as well as the others in our group. I’m still learning Spanish so I really appreciate the guides English skills. Thank you so much Flashpacker, Rosbel, David and the incredible Chef. See you again soon!
