of the district of Cusco.
Once we arrive to the trailhead, you’ll disembark from the vehicle and begin your hike. Passing
small communities and local farmers who are fiercely proud of their gorgeous surroundings,
breathe in the fresh mountain air and go at your own pace – while the trail is not difficult or rife
with technicalities, the high altitude requires a slow and steady pace. After approximately three
hours of hiking through stunning scenery, you’ll begin a final ascent to the Rainbow Mountain
lookout.
While difficult, the last hundred meters will have a delicious reward. Once up top, make sure to
catch your breath and pause for a photo that encapsulates all the colors of the rainbow with the
mountains as your background. You’ve made it to over 17,000 ft. above sea level! When you are
ready, make the return trek on the same path you came in on – this time, you’ll have plenty of energy
to look around, and truly take in the full splendor of Peru’s rainbow mountains. When you
