What to expect

Around 100 km southeast of Cusco, rests one of the most beautiful wonders of nature: the 7-Color Mountain. This place, also known as the Rainbow Mountain, has an altitude of 5,200 meters above sea level. You are picked up from the hotel early in the morning and transferred to Cusipata, where the hike begins.

Discover the beautiful sceneries of the Andes and the majestic Ausangate Mountain, one of the most important mountains of Cusco, considered a sacred entity since the times of the Incas. Once you reach the viewpoint of the mountain, appreciate the surroundings from up high. After some minutes, begin your descent to Cusipata.
