Description

If you come to Peru you cannot miss this full day hiking tour in the Rainbow Mountain!

The Rainbow Mountain, also known as the Ausangate, is the 5th highest peak of Peru. It’s located on the Pitumarca district in the region of Cuzco. The Rainbow Mountain was included by National Geographic in the list of the 100 places you should go before die.

On the way to the Rainbow Mountain you will delight your eyes with really beautiful landscapes. In addition, you will learn a lot about native flora and fauna of the place as well as local villagers.

As for the itinerary, I will pick you up early from your hotel in Cuzco. Then, we will drive through the South Valley to Quesiuno, where the trek starts. Once we are in the Inkintuyoc Bridge, we’ll enjoy a delicious continental breakfast to gain strength.

We then start the hike along a nice stream. On the way you will have amazing views of the surrounding peaks. We will walk through local villages to know the lifestyle of their people. We will then stop for a lunch before continuing with the last part of the trail.

Finally, after about 5 walking hours, we will reach our destination: the incredible 5020-meter Rainbow Mountain. Once at the summit, you will have spare time to explore the area and take pictures.

Now, it’s time to return. We will hike downhill by the same route we ascended. This hike will take other 4 or 5 hours. Once in the base, our private transfer will be waiting for us. Back to your hotel in Cuzco at around 9 PM. End of this fantastic trekking day!

So, did you like the plan? Fill out the form and get in touch with me. The Rainbow Mountain and I are waiting for you eagerly!

Mountain Leader

I'm a mountain guide, passionate traveller, and photogapher. I spend my free time and holidays exploring new destinations, discovering new mountains and cultures.

I have more than 10 years of experience climbing mountains and doing expeditions in Peru. This experience prepared me to lead and guide challenging adventours.

I like guiding people from all around the world, and help them to discover and enjoy the mountains, while reaching their goals.

I work together with a team of guides in Cusco, so if I'm not available, one of my colleagues can guide you instead.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
