The colored mountain, Vinicunca

We will come to pick you up at your hotel at 3:00 AM with a bus or private vehicle, according to your choice.

The ride to the colored mountain is 3-hour-long.

First, you will stop in a village, Pitumarca, where you will be welcomed by the locals inhabitants, to take the breakfast.

After about thirty minutes, we will leave the village and we will drive during 10 minutes in the direction of the starting point of the trek.

During the 3-4 hours of trek, you will have the chance to observe beautiful landscapes like the snow-capped mountain of Ausangate and livestock farmings of lamas and alpacas! A guide will go with you during the trek.

There are about 800 meters difference in altitude. For the less sporty, you can do the trek on horseback. The choice has to be taken at the departure of the trek.

Arrived at the point of view, you will have an hour to admire the mountain of 7 colors (departure at the 12h30 PM).

After, we will walk in the other way during 2-3 hours to the bus that will take us back once again at the village of Pitumarca, where a meal will wait for you.

Departure 04:00 PM and return at Cusco from 07:00 PM.

BE CAREFUL: you have to be in good physics conditions to do this trek, because it has important differences in altitude. Also, we recommend you to have good materials, like hiking boots and walking stick. It's very important to be used to the altitude before doing this trek because it culminates at 5100 meters. 

Due to rain season, the trek can be done all year long, but we recommend it between May and September, as you can enjoy better the colors of the mountain, and can walk easily, without mud.
