*If you want to make the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain Trek and the Humantay Lagoon Trek, you must leave a free day between both activities because they have a high physical demand.
We will begin the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain Trek leaving Cusco towards Qollasuyo, an ancient Quechua path and an important part of the Tawantinsuyo. You will arrive at Cusipata, the first stop of the day, where you will have time to have breakfast. Then, you will continue the trip by vehicle, passing through Phulawasipata and beautiful landscapes until you reach the parking lot at 4,600 meters of altitude, from where you will begin to walk. The trek, which is physically demanding and for which you must prepare yourself, will be through a path between mountains from where you will have incredible views of the mountain range. After approximately 1 hour and a half, you will reach the top of Vinicunca, at 5,100 meters of altitude. From this place you will be able to see the Rainbow Mountain and you will also have a view of the Ausangate Mountain, the highest in Cusco at an altitude of 6,300 meters. After resting and taking photographs of this spectacular place, you will begin the 1-hour return trip to the vehicle to then travel to Hachipacha, where you will have lunch. After this, you will begin the return to Cusco, where the activity ends.
*Entrance tickets prices subject to change without previous notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what period of the year the trek is made?
The tour is made during the whole year, always subject to weather conditions.
It is necessary to use trekking poles to make the activity?
Because we are talking about a mountain activity, of medium-high difficulty, our suggestion is to go with trekking poles, although we know these are not essential for the walking.
What is the better time for the activity?
Although it can be made during the whole year, usually the weather is more stable from June to November, in which there are more sunny days. However, like we are talking about a mountain tour, there are occasions that the fog and clouds could make impossible to see the color’s mountain.
Where do we can have lunch?
For the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain Trek, we will have lunch in a dining room of a local family, in a place called Cusipata, once we finish walking. The lunch includes salad, main course and juice. Remember telling us if you are vegetarian or if you have any food allergies writing at reservas@denomades.com once you make the booking.
