Discover through this short but intense hike the majestic Vinicunca Mountain (known as the Rainbow Mountain). The sunrise of the second day will allow you to discover the summit of Vinicunca Mountain (5,200 m) and Ausangate snow-capped (6,398 m) at its beautiful natural resources.
We’ll pick you up from your accommodation at about 5.30 am and then drive for about 4 hours through the South Valley towards Quesiuno, Chillca (4326m/14192.91ft). Once we get to the Inkintuyoc bridge, our cook will make breakfast. After having breakfast and loading the mules with the equipment and belongings, we’ll start our trek along the river, where you’ll encounter herds of alpacas and llamas, and if you are lucky enough, you’ll also see chinchillas and vicuñas. You’ll also get the chance to get in touch with the local Andean communities. After a 5-hour hike, we’ll have made it to our Ccayrabiri campsite, near Llamachimpana town. By the time we arrive, our cook will have already prepared a delicious lunch for us. After lunch, we’ll visit a local family who will tell us all about their customs and the local culture activities. We’ll camp out for the night.
Waking up to an energetic coca leaves infusion and a healthy protein breakfast will get you ready to walk for two hours to the top of the imposing Rainbow mountain (5200m / 17060ft). On our way up, you’ll be able to admire the impressive Red Valley, Ausangate glacier and the Surine Mountain. Once you reach the top, you’ll have time to explore the surroundings and take photos. After that, it’ll be time to go down towards the Chillihuani/Hanchipata community (4800m/15748ft). At this point, our driver will be waiting to drive us to Cusipata town. You’ll get to enjoy a delicious lunch made with organic products from the community. After lunch, you’ll head back to Cusco and we’ll drop you off at your accommodation at about 4 pm.
