    Cedo, em horário combinado, passaremos em seu hotel em Cusco para irmos a Collasuyo, ao sul da antiga capital dos incas (Cusco) que foi parte do Tawantinsuyo (4 regiões antigas dos incas). Nossa primeira parada será após 2h (78km), na comunidade de Paucarpata (CUSIPATA) onde descansaremos e poderemos comprar água ou bebidas energizantes, lanches, cereais, etc e também aproveitar nosso café da manhã estilo buffet. Posteriormente continuaremos em nosso transporte pela estrada por cerca de 1h onde chegaremos ao acampamento base de PHULAWASIPATA e nos prepararemos para realizar a caminhada, uma subida de aproximadamente 2h (3,5km). Durante este trajeto teremos a oportunidade de ver o impressionante glaciar de Hatun Ritti (4825m), as diferentes variedades de camelídeos sulamericanos e o maravilhoso reflexo da paisagem acompanhada da laguna Puka Qocha e Qomer Qocha. Ao chegar à Montanha Colorida teremos tempo suficiente para tirar fotos deste enigmático e incrível lugar. Depois retornaremos ao acampamento base, descendo por 1h30 (3,5km) aproximadamente, onde pegaremos nosso transporte para Paucarpata e desfrutar de nosso delicioso almoço. Finalmente, por volta das 18h estaremos na cidade imperial de Cusco, onde o levaremos ao seu hotel.

Get ready to take a lot of photos.

Many places to take photos. Arrive as early as you can. Riding a motorcycle is very helpful.

Response from the operator: 💛 La Montaña de Colores ofrece paisajes únicos y muchos puntos ideales para tomar fotografías. Llegar temprano y elegir la opción de motocicleta puede ayudar mucho a disfrutar mejor el recorrido. Agradecemos su confianza en Perú Grand Travel.

PT-BR Colorful Mountain

Amazing experience! The view is impressive and it is worth getting to the top of the mountain. Peru Grand Travel gives all the support on the tour. Breakfast and lunch are included, which are served at the same place. It is simple, but tasty and fulfills the role well. On the climb, I only recommend walking if you have moderate physical preparation and are already a bit adapted to the altitude. Otherwise, it is very worth riding a horse or motorcycle, because you can better take advantage of the experience and do not delay the group. It is worth remembering that the Colorful Mountain is at more than 5,000 meters altitude, that is, higher than Cusco, so the air is much more rarefied. Guides end up rushing because of the group time, but they are kind and understand when someone needs to go slower because of the altitude.

Response from the operator: Muito obrigada pelo seu comentário! 🏔️ Ficamos felizes que a vista, as refeições e o suporte oferecido por nossa equipe tenham tornado o passeio uma experiência incrível. Cada viajante reage de maneira diferente à altitude, e escolher entre caminhar, cavalo ou moto deve sempre considerar seu próprio ritmo e condição. Agradecemos pela sinceridade e pelas recomendações compartilhadas.

Single Solo Experience

It was an incredible experience. My trip was alone. I felt welcome at all times. Every walk they asked if I was okay, if I had any problems. Super well-prepared guides. I had no problem with anything. My note eh a thousand 🌟🌟🌟

Response from the operator: Agradecemos de coração pelo comentário! 💛😊 Saber que você viajou sozinha e se sentiu acolhida e bem cuidada em todos os momentos significa muito para nós. Nosso compromisso é justamente esse: atenção constante, equipe preparada e uma experiência tranquila do início ao fim. Obrigada pela confiança e pela nota mil! 🌟🏔️✨

Rainbow Mountain Full-Day Tour from Cusco + Small Group!: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does Rainbow Mountain Full-Day Tour from Cusco + Small Group! cost?

+

Prices start at $117 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 from Cusco + Small Group! take?

+

Plan for about 13 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 from Cusco + Small Group! worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 73 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 from Cusco + Small Group!?

+

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 from Cusco + Small Group! suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 13-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain Full-Day Tour from Cusco + Small Group!?

+

Around 26 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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Rainbow Mountain Full-Day Tour from Cusco + Small Group! 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.
