We will pick you up from your hotel between 3:00 and 4:00 AM. Afterward, we will head to the Southern Valley to enjoy a delicious breakfast at a restaurant, approximately 1.5 hours away.
We will travel for another hour until we reach Japura, where the ATV adventure will begin. The guide will provide instructions on operating the ATV, and then we will start the journey, enjoying the beautiful scenery and observing Andean camelids such as llamas and alpacas. After about half an hour, we will arrive at the ATV parking area.
We will walk for 15 minutes to reach the stunning Rainbow Mountain. Once at the Rainbow Mountain, you will have time to take photos, videos, and listen to our guide’s explanations. Afterward, we will return to the ATVs and travel for about 30 minutes back to the ATV parking area.
We will leave the ATVs and take our transportation back to the restaurant, where you will enjoy a buffet lunch.
Finally, we will return to Cusco, where our service will conclude in the city center around 4:00 PM.
It’s crucial to be well-acclimated to the altitude before undertaking a hike. We recommend arriving in Cusco at least 2 days before the hike to help you acclimate and avoid potential altitude sickness during the hike. If you have already been at a high altitude in another part of Peru before arriving in Cusco, we still recommend spending a full day in Cusco to rest, recover from your trip, and enjoy the sights.
Ausangate Adventure can pick you up from your hotel, provided it is located in the Historic Center of Cusco. Pickup time is between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM, but please note that wait times may vary. Cusco has narrow and cobblestone streets, which can make access to hotels difficult; in this case, the guide will indicate the meeting point.
Located in the Vilcanota mountain range, the mountain is named for the vibrant color bands created by the minerals in its composition. With an altitude of 5,200 meters, it is one of the highest in Peru. Reaching the summit of Rainbow Mountain is no easy task. The high altitude and challenging terrain make hiking strenuous. Nevertheless, the views from the top are spectacular, offering stunning panoramas of the surrounding mountains and valleys. If you plan to undertake this hike, it is important to take precautions:
With good preparation, you’ll be able to conquer Rainbow Mountain and enjoy one of Peru’s most amazing natural wonders.
