Your adventure begins early in the morning with a pickup from your hotel in Cusco around 5:00 a.m. We will travel south through the Vilcanota Valley, passing small Andean villages surrounded by potato and quinoa fields, until we reach Pitumarca (3,700 m / 12,139 ft). Here, you’ll enjoy a buffet breakfast and a short briefing about the route and altitude.
We continue our journey toward Pampachiri (4,600 m / 15,092 ft), the starting point of the hike. From here, the ascent begins along a path that reveals the high Andean ecosystem — herds of alpacas and llamas, pristine air, and wide views of the Vilcanota mountain range. This region is home to the Apu Ausangate, one of the most sacred peaks in the Andean cosmovision, symbol of protection and fertility for local communities.

This region is home to the Apu Ausangate, one of the most sacred peaks in the Andean cosmovision, symbol of protection and fertility for local communities.
After approximately two hours of gradual ascent, we will reach Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain (5,200 m / 17,060 ft). The vivid natural colors of its slopes — created by mineral sedimentation over millions of years — form a truly unique landscape. From the top, you can also appreciate the surrounding Red Valley, whose ochre and crimson tones create an extraordinary contrast against the snow-capped peaks.
You will have time to rest, take photographs, and enjoy the magnificent Andean scenery. Then we begin our descent back to Pampachiri, where our vehicle awaits. On the way back, we stop again in Pitumarca for a buffet lunch, before returning to Cusco, arriving around 6:00 p.m.
