Tour Plan
4:30am - 7:00am : Pick up from Hotel - Transfer to Tintinco - Breakfast
Our adventure starts very early in the morning, at 4:30 am, with our guide who will pick us up from the hotel and then head to the south of Cusco for about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Cusco to Cusipata, exactly to the community of Tintinco where a delicious breakfast will be waiting for us. In this first stop, where we will taste breakfast we will have about 30 minutes, we can also take the opportunity to make last-minute purchases such as gloves, hats, chocolates, and sweets, which are necessary for this tour.
7:00am - 10:00am : Phulawasipata - Rainbow Mountain Hike
After breakfast we will be transported for about 1 hour to the starting point for the ascent to the Colored Mountain called Phulawasipata (4600 masl). In this place, our guide will give us some recommendations before starting the hike. During the 2 hours (4 km) hike we will have the opportunity to observe beautiful landscapes such as gigantic mountains, glaciers, and colorful valleys with llamas and alpacas around. We will also have contact with the people of the communities and learn about their lifestyle and culture.
10:00am - 11:00am : Arrival at Rainbow Mountain - Guided Tour
Around 10:00 am we will be arriving at the majestic Rainbow Mountain also called Vinicunca (5036 masl), where we will take a break of about 15 minutes while our guide gives us an explanation of the place at the same time we can enjoy the breathtaking views around, we will also have the opportunity to observe from very close the highest mountain in Cusco called Ausangate (6380 masl).
After that, we will have free time for about 30 minutes to explore on our own and take all the pictures we want of the imposing Rainbow Mountain.
11:00am - 16:00 : Visit to the Red Valley - Lunch - Return
After visiting the Colored Mountain, we will descend for about 15 minutes to a detour, where we will have an extra walk of about 20 minutes (one way) to reach the Red Valley where we will also have spectacular views and with some luck we can see more vicuñas in the area, note that this extra walk is for those who wish and others can continue the walk d return for 1 hour and 30 minutes to the parking lot (Phulawasipata) where our mobility awaits us.
After arriving at the parking lot we will return for about 45 minutes to Tintinco again where we will have a delicious lunch for about 1 hour.

El servicio fue el mejor, muy puntuales con el recojo amigables, el desayuno estuvo muy delicioso. Al llegar a la montaña nos dieron el tiempo necesario para disfrutar de toda esa maravilla y de paso tomarnos fotos para el recuerdo, al retornar tuvimos un almuerzo muy rico. Nuestro guía fue el mejor, siempre estuvo muy pendiente de nosotros. Recomiendo esta agencia, todo su staff es maravilloso. Gracias chicos por una gran experiencia.

Such a fantastic experience we had during this tour. Beautiful colour, and we were lucky enough to have some snow at the top as well. It was a long ride, but it was totally worth it. The breakfast and lunch stops were also very good, delicious buffet.

Fue increíble fue la agencia con mejores precios que conseguí y los guías son un espectáculo! Sandro en especial, mi guía a la Montaña de Colores fue muy atento, estuvo muy pendiente de mi, me tomo fotos, videos, me cargo el agua y se encargó de contarnos muy bien la historia Inca.
