What To Expect

Around 100 km southeast of Cusco, rests one of the most beautiful wonders of nature: the 7 colour Mountain. This place, also known as the Rainbow Mountain, has an altitude of 5,200 metres above sea level. You are picked up from the hotel early in the morning and transferred to Cusipata, where you will have breakfast and start the hike. The trek is surrounded by beautiful sceneries of the Andes and guarded by the majestic Ausangate Mountain, one of the most important mountains of Cusco, considered a sacred entity since the times of the Incas. Once you reach the viewpoint of the 7 colour Mountain, appreciate the surroundings from up high. After some minutes, begin your descend to Cusipata, where you will enjoy lunch. After lunch, you will return to your hotel in Cusco.
