Trip Details for Rainbow Mountain 1-Day Trek

Departures: Every day in the dry season from mid-April to October, we still operate in November. Hikers should expect some rain and snow this month. We do not operate our trips in February and March as the rainfall is very strong, which makes access very difficult, and it’s not possible to see Rainbow Mountain

Tour Location: Rainbow Mountain, known locally as Vinicunca, is located on the road to the Ausangate mountain in the Andes of Peru, about a three-hour drive southeast of Cusco city.

Tour Type: Hiking, trekking, and off-beaten-path adventures through the rugged mountain countryside of Peru to reach the aptly named Rainbow Mountain or Vinicunca Mountain.

Physical Grading: Moderate to difficult, depending on the level of physical fitness. This demanding, high-altitude trek to the 7-Color Rainbow Mountain in 1 Day is designed for travelers with little time and good physical resistance. We highly recommend leaving this tour towards the end of your stay in Cusco because your body will have fully adapted to the altitude.

Best Time to Visit: The best time of the year to do a Rainbow Mountain Day trip is during the dry season, from April to August. These months are actually winter in the Andes, so it can feel quite cold, but it usually means there is little to no rain. Clear sunny days and dry trail conditions are perfect for hiking! December through March is the rainy season in the Andes, and hiking to Rainbow Mountain is not recommended. Sustained, heavy rains can make the trail unsafe.

Group Size: We offer every-day departures with a minimum of 2 people. We organize our Rainbow Mountain or 7 Colors Mountain 1-Day Tour as a group or private service trip with private van transfers and professional drivers to enhance the experience by giving you the full attention of our guides and staff.

Walking Time: Exact walking times depend on the relative fitness and speed of everyone in your group. On average, the hike to Vinicunca Pass (the Rainbow Mountain viewpoint) takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Total round-trip walking time (up and back down) is approximately 3 hours.
