The highlight of this full-day hiking tour is reaching the summit of Rainbow Mountain, where trekkers get a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape including the snow-capped Ausangate peak and the colorful mineral layers of the mountain. The trek covers about 7.5 kilometers (4.7 miles) in roughly 3.5 hours through a green valley where alpacas roam and local Quechua life can be observed. The guide provides explanations about the geology and formation of Rainbow Mountain. After a break at the top with snacks included, the group begins a 2 to 3-hour descent through Red Valley. Upon returning to the base, a chef prepares a gourmet lunch served in a traditional mud-house setting. The tour includes private transport to and from hotels in Cusco, an English/Spanish speaking guide, first aid kit and emergency oxygen, tea and coffee, breakfast at the trailhead, and snacks for the trek. The whole experience lasts approximately 13 to 15 hours and is limited to a maximum of 8 participants to maintain a small-group environment.
