Rainbow Mountain is Peru's second most visited destination after Machu Picchu. And with that popularity comes the crowds — large groups all rushing to reach the summit at the same time, often before sunrise.
We do it differently.
Our Early Bird Departure gets you to the summit among the first, returning to Cusco by early afternoon. Our Comfort Departure is timed so you arrive when the morning crowds have left — giving you the viewpoint almost to yourself.
No long lines. No rushing. No fighting for photos. Just you, the colors, and the silence.
Imagine standing before the painted hills and sweeping glaciers at your own pace — space to breathe, time to absorb the beauty, and freedom to cap...

Itinerary

Rainbow Mountain Peru
Upon arrival at the trailhead, your guide will brief you on the hike, provide walking sticks, and arrange horse rentals for those who prefer to ride.
Time to Summit:
By horse: Approximately 1 hour (40 min riding + 20 min hiking the final stretch)
By foot: Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours
At the Top: The reward — stunning views without the crowds. Early Bird departures arrive before the masses. Comfort Departure guests arrive after they've left. Either way, you'll have space to breathe and take photos in peace.
Return & Lunch: After soaking in the views, we'll hike back to the parking lot and drive to our restaurant for a delicious lunch.
Vegan, vegetarian, or other dietary needs? No problem — just let us know the day before so we can coordinate with our team.

MESON ANDINO
Upon arrival at the restaurant, lunch will be ready and waiting. Take your time — no rush, just relax and refuel.
After lunch, we begin the 2-hour scenic drive back to Cusco. And yes, we drop you off at YOUR hotel — not the main plaza. True door-to-door service, from start to finish.
