Rainbow mountain route
This route is genuinely unique and is a real adventure through preserved wild natural terrain and includes Puka Punta, “red lead”, a mountain in the Vilcanota mountain range and small communities of Quechua-speaking descendants. The route of Rainbow mountain reaches great heights between 4710m and 5200m for stunning eagle eye views. The Vinicunca One-Day Tour is able to offer travelers an alternative trek that is paramount to other trips and destinations.Itinerary of Rainbow mountain trip
You will be picked up very early and then head south through the town of Urco to the Cecacupe District (2 hours) and then follow the path to Pitumarca. We continue along the road through small villages until we arrive to the community of Hanchipata – Quesuno (1 hour and 20 minutes), the ideal starting point to walk the route. We will see many mountains such as Ausangate, beautiful blue lagoons, and many other natural sites. The hike is not long (8 km round trip) but it is all above 5100 m. Due to this altitude it is challenging but for sure, one of the best day hikes in Peru! For the fittest, you can continue from the Rainbow Mountain through the red valley to the top. From there you will have an amazing panorama of kilometers red dessert with mountaintops of different colors.
