What you'll see and do
This amazing tour begins bright and early with our private transport picking you up at 4am from your hotel. Rainbow mountain Peru, also known as Vinicunca is an undiscovered land full of wildly desert landscapes, snow-capped glaciated peaks, herds of alpaca, and pristine beauty. Throughout your journey you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain towering in the distance. You will experience first-hand how locals live in the mountains and even see them hard at work. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the Rainbow Mountain; and finally, on the last push, you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360-degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up the sacred land. You have made it to the ultimate destination – The painted hills hidden deep in the Andes. We’ll have you back around 7pm ready for dinner and full of appreciation for what you have experienced during the day.

Awesome 😊
We did hiking tours, walking tours, cooking classes, and nature and wildlife tours. This was, by far, the most fantastic trip I have experienced. Abraham was so knowledgeable and shared so much knowledge. He was full of LOVE and life for Peru. I appreciate how caring, thoughtful, and a TRUE gentleman. He is definitely a friend for life 💙….. I did Rainbow Mountain in an ATV; although the hike was grueling due to the Altitude, our guide, Abe, was excellent. He encouraged us all the way and kept pace slowly to match ours. Wonderful experience. Take his tour; you will be satisfied. This Rican Jersey girl was just in awe of Peru. I give him and his WHOLE crew five stars...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing adventure & spiritual experience
We explore the Rainbow Mountain with ATV ride, filled with twist and turn up the mountain and spectacular views along the way. Once arrived in the top, the Rainbow Mountain awaits us with colorful views, nice breeze and warm sun. Abraham, our main guide took the time to explain in details about the rock formation and Inka history before getting everyone to get the ultimate solo shot and group pics. This trip is a lot of fun, filled with adventure and spiritual meaning. Definitely a 5 Star experience and 2 thumbs up 👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Noé is the best guide I’ve ever had
I can’t understate it: Noé MADE our trip to Peru. Not only did he plan and facilitate a remarkable excursion to Rainbow Mountain, but he also led our group to Santo Tomas for the Takanakuy festival and connected us with a cooking class in Cusco. Noé was incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, flexible, and kind. The things that made him exceptional, however, fell in between the lines. Noé thoroughly impressed our group by anticipating needs we hadn’t even thought of. His referrals were consistently best in class. He did everything he could to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime when visiting Peru. My only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time with him.

Perfecto
Abe was a professional and experienced guide who was very knowledgeable about the local land culture and people. Would highly recommend his organization to anyone looking to learn more about Peru.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review. Abraham loves his beautiful home Peru and he loves showing others it's wonders. Thank you for letting us serve you.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $208 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 Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour?
+
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 Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour?
+
Around 2 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainbow Mountain Full Day Tour 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.
