About this activity

Discover the colors of the Andes on our one-day hike to Rainbow Mountain with our small groups. In Cusco, we have a mountain full of colors that show us a true rainbow. During our day hike to Vinicunca, you will walk at the base of snow-capped peaks, connect with the locals, and indulge in well-deserved local meals at the best restaurants in the area. This is a tour you must not miss while visiting Cusco. Be amazed by how its colors rest upon a mountain that resembles a hand-painted canvas amidst the peaks, and end this hike with your camera filled with the best memories.
