The rainbow mountain or hill of colors (Vinicunca) is the new wonder of Peru and is located at approximately 5,000 meters above sea level, near the snow-capped Ausangate, which is the highest peak in the Cusco region. The road to reach this sector is moderate difficulty and lasts one hour and thirty minutes, it includes spectacular plains and elevations along the way, highly recommended for adventure lovers and walkers. Throughout the tour we will appreciate beautiful landscapes with special characteristics, we will enjoy the atmosphere and we will take the best photographic views, so that you take away a special and unforgettable memory.

You should get this tour
We had the greatest experience: the rainbow mountain and surroundings are truly amazing. I would highly recommend to get this tour with the horses as well, it is more fun and you still get to hike in the end. TBH without horses it would be too exhausting! Our tour guide was very fun and he genuinely wanted to share culture and interesting things about Peru! Transport and everything was very smooth, so I highly recommend the tour

Safe, Tailored, Great Experience
Travelled with my friend. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. My friend and I felt very safe on this tour and the food was good as well. We hiked rainbow mountain and our Wilbert offered for us to add on the red valley for a more tailored experience. The experience was beautiful and serene thanks to Wilbert.

Hiking with beautiful views
My husband and I had a wonderful experience, riding the horses, and then hiking. It was a cloudy, foggy day, but cleared up to enjoy the view and get amazing pictures for memories. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.

The weather was perfect! We enjoyed it very much!
We enjoyed the tour although it looked like it would rain. The height is challenging which makes it difficult for those from flat spots to walk but the weather got cool and we could breathe normally, our guide and his assistant always on the lookout for the group, and besides the views got amazing which motivated us at all times. We were well equipped following the recommendations of the agency we hired and everything went as expected. I recommend the agency, they really care about you!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainbow Mountain Horseback Riding Tour: Day Trip with Peru Vip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Rainbow Mountain Horseback Riding Tour: Day Trip with Peru Vip cost?
+
Prices start at $299 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 Horseback Riding Tour: Day Trip with Peru Vip 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 Rainbow Mountain Horseback Riding Tour: Day Trip with Peru Vip 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 16 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 Horseback Riding Tour: Day Trip with Peru Vip?
+
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 Horseback Riding Tour: Day Trip with Peru Vip 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 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain Horseback Riding Tour: Day Trip with Peru Vip?
+
Around 6 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 Rainbow Mountain Horseback Riding Tour: Day Trip with Peru Vip 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.
