Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain

Itinerary

We pick you up from your hotel about 3:15 am to take a trip of 2:30 hours following the southern route through the valleys of Cusco, in full route we can see the sunrise in horizons of valleys and punas; a first stop in the small town of Pitumarca, then continue to our camp Quesiuno place where we await an energetic breakfast Andean prepared before starting the trek to the mountain Vinincunca. After breakfast we get ready with all the implements of walking and a good load of water that allows us to undertake our ascent to the mountain Vinincunca. It will be for a period of 3 hours (7.5 km). Our departure from this point allows us to see a view of the largest mountain in the Ausangate area covered in snow almost entirely with the transparent streams that overflow from the adjoining mountains, see the camelids and sheep feed on their fields and its town of Uchuraccay with its workers in the open field. As we ascend we will feel the air cleaner and colder than the earth can give us accompanied by an intimate coat that provides us with emotion. The warmth of the people who gleefully welcome us in their mountains allows us to understand the joy and tranquility that their inhabitants radiate, and at the top the feelings and effort exposed in the goal are dissipated in an inexplicable way that holds the hand of the hungry soul of emotions. At the end of the step we will have the most wonderful and enigmatic geographical sight, the great chain of mountains of the 7 colors, where you will have approximately 40 min to take your photographs. At the end of this, we will make the descent way in a measured and measured way to our Quesiuno camp, since our Andean buffet lunch is waiting for us, accompanied by infusions or soft drinks to make us feel the warmth of these people. Finally we return to Cusco, then we will have a 3 hour trip to the city arriving at approximately 7:00 p.m.
