Apu Vinicunca Peru Tour is one of the popular full-day trips in Cusco. In fact, the Full Day Vinicunca Rainbow Tour is the second most visited place in Cusco, after Machu Picchu.
Also known as Montana de Siete Colores, Apu Vinicunca Peru attracts over 800 people per day. Only a handful of tourists leave Cusco without taking the Rainbow Mountain Tour.
There are two Rainbow Mountains in Cusco: Vinicunca and Palccoyo. Palccoyo is popular among those not willing to hike.
Vinicunca preserves its authenticity by allowing visitors to hike up the scenic route, and see Andean farms. The stunning landscapes of the Peruvian Andes will amaze you.
For the full-day Vinicunca Peru Tour, we will be leaving from Cusco at 0400 in the morning. Before heading to the trailhead, we will be having a brief stop at Cusipata. It is an Andean village.
From the base camp, you have two options: you can hike the Rainbow Mountain Trek or take a horseback ride. Please note that the horse ride is not included in the price you pay. You will need to negotiate with locals.
Mineral deposits are responsible for the rainbow mountain Peru’s colors. This is Cusco’s most popular and beautiful site.
Machu Picchu Peru Company, a local tour operator, is based in Cusco. Trekkers will get authentic local experiences. You can choose to join a small group or a private tour for a full-day hike up the seven-colored mountains.
Please note:
Apu Vinicunca Peru Tour is at a high altitude experience. To avoid altitude sickness, it is highly recommended that you spend at least 3 days in Cusco.
At Machu Picchu Peru Company, we strictly adhere to all COVID-19 protocols as imposed by local authorities.
