An incredible experience in Ausangate.
It was an amazing and very supportive experience. From the driver who transported us safely, to the horsemen who made sure our gear stayed dry and arrived on time at camp, everything was handled professionally. The cooks prepared fantastic meals, and the guide was very kind and highly knowledgeable about the route. If anyone is planning to trek Ausangate, I highly recommend Ausangate Adventure a fantastic team. The entire operation was well organized. Truly a 10/10 experience.

Ausangate trek well worth it!
Everything was perfectly organized, from the accommodations and transportation to each meal along the route. Our guide, Wilian, was a key part of the experience. Always attentive, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, he made every step of the journey special and meaningful. We also want to highlight the chefs who accompanied us throughout the trek. Their culinary skills were truly impressive! They adapted every dish to our vegan diet without sacrificing flavor or creativity. Honestly, the food exceeded our expectations—it was even better than many restaurants we've been to. An experience we would definitely do again without hesitation.

Great service from Ausangate Adventure on 7-color mountain visit
It was a great adventure always supported by Ausangate Adventure. Your guidance from the time of purchase to return was decisive in making the trip a success. The mountain of 7 colors is wonderful.
Response from the operator: En Ausangate Adventure trabajamos para brindar experiencias auténticas y seguras. Tu satisfacción es nuestra mejor recompensa. ¡Nos vemos en el próximo destino!

An essential walk
My tour with Guide Willian and his family was unbeatable. They were always attentive to me and provided me with the necessary equipment to survive the cold nights of Ausangate. The scenery is stunning and you are alone with the Guide for most of the trip so you get that feeling of being lost in the middle of the Andes that many of us are looking for. In short, do not stop coming to the ausangate. It's an unforgettable experience.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N cost?
+
Prices start at $620 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N?

Not included: Dinner on the last day in Cusco; Sleeping bag, trekking poles; Travel insurance (recommended); and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain 4D3N offered in?
+
