What you'll see and do
Vinicunca Mountain
Travel through an undiscovered land of wild desert landscapes, snowy peaks, herds of alpacas, and reach the final destination: the "Rainbow Mountain" hidden deep in the Andes. Throughout your trip, you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain that rises in the distance. You will experience first-hand how the locals live in the mountains and you will even have the opportunity to talk with them. As you approach Rainbow Mountain, you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what constitutes the existence of the "Rainbow Mountain", and finally, with one last push, you will walk to a strategic point that will give you a 360 degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up this sacred land in Cusco - Peru .

Mountain seven colors, not taaan as described.
Beautiful! Butooo the colors are not as they show, they are not as vivid or anything like that. But it's nice. We had a spectacular day. You have to dress in layers, if you are going up Walking will give you very hot, added to the lack of oxygen, it becomes heavy, but not impossible. I rode up and down on a motorcycle, you got 70 soles one way, and if you went up and down 90... It is worth it, the bike leaves you 5 minutes from the mountain. What's more, from where it leaves you, you see the mountain. You have to be warm: hat, gloves, thermal pants, diver or thermal shirt, remember that you climb to 5000 meters! And if you do one more process you reach the top 5036mts. It's beautiful and beautiful views, but I consider there are more beautiful places. It became very popular but for me, the next time I save myself the suffering of altitude sickness and go elsewhere. * It is a negotiation for those who are in charge of all the circus that is mounted. When they don't give you an answer to something they start talking to each other in their dialect, as did the gentleman who calls himself TIO, an unpresentable and gives no solution to anything. Just note that motorcycles carry down passengers. That was ugly... the bike that came to get me broke upstairs, and no other bike wanted to get me down, and this guy wouldn't answer me, I was running away. Horses 70 suns Motorcycles 70 suns (take you) Quad bikes don't ask, but you drive. Bathrooms 2 suns Photos with alpacas at will Foreign entrance 70 suns + entrance to the mountain 25 suns. There's a toilet where the combi drops you off, As soon as you get here in case you feel bad, that's good. Before you go tomato coke tea, you carried candy and the best of the best FLORIDA WATER revives even a dead person, and you can keep walking a few more minutes. I hope you get the info, I leave you pictures of Uncle the unpresentable and other cute. Greetings, and good trip!

The beautiful Vinicunca
A unique setting, which gives you the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful colors of the mountain You will get excellent photos

unattractive tour
It did not turn out to be the tour that had been recommended to us, since the departure there were difficulties, they picked us up an hour and 2 minutes after what was agreed, the buffet breakfast was not, we arrived at the place almost at noon with the weather bad, despite Climbing to more than 5000 meters we could not see much due to the fog, rain and hail, perhaps in better weather conditions and better organization the opinion would be different.

Do not purchase this
Do not purchase this trip, the mountain tickets are not included (the voucher has it included but you need to pay them anyway). Also the guide was awful, 10 minutes explanation in a 8-9 hours trip. The bus had no curtains and the aircon did not work. The mountain was great so my suggestion is to purchase another option.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mountain Seven Colors Cusco (1 Day): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Mountain Seven Colors Cusco (1 Day) cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Mountain Seven Colors Cusco (1 Day) take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Mountain Seven Colors Cusco (1 Day) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 8 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 Mountain Seven Colors Cusco (1 Day)?
+
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 Mountain Seven Colors Cusco (1 Day) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 13. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Mountain Seven Colors Cusco (1 Day)?
+
Around 3 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mountain Seven Colors Cusco (1 Day) 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, 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.
