About this experience
Vinicunca, also called “The Mountain of 7 Colors” or Rainbow Mountain Peru. It is a new tourist attraction near Cusco, Peru, located in the province of Quispicanchis. Forgotten by everyone until a few years ago, it has now become very popular. And the best part is that you can visit it in one day. According to locals, this mountain and the surrounding ones were covered with snow a few decades ago, and because of global warming, the snow has disappeared leaving them exposed and showing us an incredible view, and not just the view of the mountains, but also the Apu Ausangate, Cusco’s highest snowy peak.

Afterward, we venture to the Llaqto community's parking area, initiating a 1.5-hour hike to Rainbow Mountain, reaching 5036 meters above sea level. Along the trail, llamas and alpacas, tended by colorful shepherds, dot the landscape framed by the majestic peaks of Ausangate and Wiñayrity.

Survive Inca trek with info Cusco excellent service to completion
Surviving inca classic trek with arthritic knee problems was a great adventure with the excellent service of info Cusco tours and hotels a local company. Elvis our guide was efficient. He was professional. He was briefing us in detail every part of the way of the trail. He was patient and he understands our pace of walking. His timing was right making sure we get to the campsite before dark. We learned a lot from him about history of the Inka empire, the ruins, and the flora and fauna of the Inka trail. The trail has varied flowers, plants, and animals to see. Elvis helped us identify them. He can be funny at times and encouraging when we needed a little push. We were comfortable having him as our guide and that made the difference. Elvin our mountain trek chef culinary was impressive. Presentation of food was a show of art to the last meal. We appreciate the variation of food and options provided but carrying it all to mountains is backbreaking. Elvin culinary skills and preparedness made eating on the Inka trail memorable. We miss his gourmet cooking already. I recommend him to any restauranteur without hesitation. The porters are our real heroes of of theInka trail and in our trek. They are the carriers of our loads that makes everything possible in the mountains to survive. They are ver hardworking, eager to help, and still wear smiles at the end of the day. We have great respect for what the porters endure to make gruelling Inka trek a lifetime memorable experience. Salute to all porters. They are worth and deserving of tips at the end of their task. Another good service we like about info Cusco tour is the fluid transfer of information from their office to hotels, drivers, tranfers and little details to make trek to completion efficient saving time and money. Not to forget drivers were helpful.

The best choice for doing the Inca trail
We were so lucky to have find Info Cusco.. they answer quickly and in detail our questions. We were the first group of the season 2017, we were around 26 people including guides porters and guides. Santos and Henry, our local guides were dedicated to us 24 hr. They had great stories about the trail, the Incas and lessons about life. The Cooker, Epifanio, was an artist.. With his team, they prepared for us typical Peruvian dishes, all decorated with the most exquisite figures made from apple, carrots, etc. The last day, was a special dessert that I´m not going to tell you, is a surprise that you need to discover. Definitely, choosing Info Cusco was a great decision. it made the Inca Trail the most exiting experience I ever had doing a trail

The agency that you are looking for.
This is the agency that you are looking for. The service is far from great, it's amazing. Vanessa is A+++ she will take care of everything during the reservation, ask anything she will respond quickly with the right answer. I bother her since January to probably the day before arriving to Cusco (September). I did the classic inca trail plus two more guide tours; City tour and Valle Sagrado, I do recommend both. Every day in the morning was someone at my Hotel (Loreto Boutique; stay here you will love it) waiting for me to guide me to the meet spot for the tour. The Inca Trail, the only thing I am going to say (not spoiled) is that you will be treated like a King and Queen. Obviously you have to walk and do some effort to meet the goals every day and the restroom probably are messy for you but there is something special that you will love apart of the trail and the views. Trust me you will love to go with this agency, just trust me you will remember during your Inca Trail. This agency is operated by locals it means they know what they are doing. Forget about the others ones this is what you are looking for. Trust me.

Amazing experience at an affordable price
My mom and I used InfoCusco to hike for 4 days on the Inca Trail ending at Machu Picchu and it was an incredible experience! One of the best things we liked about the company is that they keep their groups small. We noticed other guides with 15-20 clients and they were spread out all over the trail. However, there was only 6 of us in our group so we stuck together and cheered each other on when the climb got tough. It was much more fun to have that kind of support. The food was also amazing! Every meal seemed to have 3 courses and each plate was delicious. And our guide was outstanding. He would give us background on every ruin we passed, including Machu Picchu. When you look at everything you're getting for the price this company charges, it is a bargain! Friends of mine recommended this company to me and I would recommend using them as well, especially if you can get Elvis as your guide.

3 Days tour in Cusco
The representative from InfoCusco Wilder was very helpful. He met with me at the hotel and started my first day tour. First day tour was very good. The gentleman was very knowledgeable and explained lots of history about Cusco to us; Second day was not too good. The guide didn't really explain where we were going and we stopped at so many shopping places (which personally I thought we could had spent more time on main attractions and local markets); Third day was very good, our guide explained all the way through our Machuu Picchu tour and the weather was quite nice. Overall, I enjoyed the company with the rest of the tourists.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainbow Mountain Perú Full Day Group Shared Service: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Rainbow Mountain Perú Full Day Group Shared Service cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Perú Full Day Group Shared Service take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Perú Full Day Group Shared Service worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 30 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 Perú Full Day Group Shared Service?
+
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 Perú Full Day Group Shared Service 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 14-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain Perú Full Day Group Shared Service?
+
Around 11 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainbow Mountain Perú Full Day Group Shared Service 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.
