Rainbow Mountain Tour is a full day hike to one of the sacred mountains of the towering Ausangate. Locally it is also called 'Winicunca or Vinicunca'. The trip is an unforgettable adventure with fantastic views that will take you through beautiful villages of Quechua-speaking people. The hike allows the traveler to discover the best experience while crossing the Peruvian Andes.
The mountain is characterized by its red and green stripes, which comes from natural mineral deposits. Other colors that can be seen include turquoise, gold, lavender and a deep red. In addition, once you reach the top, you will be able to have 360 degree panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes and the Red Valley.

Be prepared to get up early and know that it’s totally worth it. We highly recommend going with Inkayni on your next visit to Peru! Be sure to request Guido Chavez. He’s a fantastic guide!

Amazing views. Lovely hike. Our tour guide Jonathan was great! He gave us the option of also doing Red Valley which was totally worth it. Epic views.

I did the full day Rainbow Mountain your and received Franco as our guide and Percy as the driver. The only negative was being picked up last and having to sit in the back as the roads are rough (at no fault to the guides). The breakfast was enough to get you the energy to make it to the endpoint and our guides were very flexible and accommodating to differing levels of adjustment to the altitude (4500-5000+ meters up!). Everyone was allowed to go at their own pace and Franco and Percy operated under the "no person gets left behind and everyone will see the view, no matter what" mindset and even let some people in our group borrow their personal walking sticks. Franco was extremely knowledgeable in the history of the mountain and the peoples who reside there and had an answer for everything we threw at him! He was also very willing to assist in taking photos for and with everyone which is nice for people who may take the trip solo. The only recommendation I would have for the tour company is providing walking sticks for customers and maybe working a deal with the restaurant, for lunch specifically, to provide a drink with the meal. Otherwise I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this adventure with Franco to La Montaña de los Colores!

This was a day trip that my wife and I added to our Peru trip as a last minute add-on. We traveled by private car from Cusco to the Rainbow Mountain trail head. We had a private guide (Percy) and a driver. Percy was very friendly and willing to share the history of the areas we traveled thru, the culture of the people and tips for managing the actual hike itself. He was very attentive to our needs and made us feel very safe and secure throughout the trip. The location is simply amazing. The trip is at high altitude. You start at about 15,000ft and finish at 16,500ft. The trail is very easy though, well marked and not technical at all. We also stopped along the way at a local place for breakfast and lunch. The staff and food were great. Overall I would highly recommend this to someone that has the time and is traveling in the area.
