Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain Sunrise

THIS TOUR IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS A TWO-DAY OPTION WITH THE ADDITION OF PALLAY PUNCHU RAINBOW MOUNTAIN FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE SUNSET

SUNRISE TO REMEMBER

This is the most famous Rainbow Mountain in Peru, and very well known worldwide. What a place for photographers that love to play with perspectives and gorgeous/unreal landscapes.

But as photographers, we don’t like crowded places and flat light. So why not heading to that wonderful spot for Sunrise? While everybody is still in bed, and when the light is the best. If you are willing to escape the conventional and touristic roads leading to Vinicunca mountain, this Day tour is for you.

TOUR TIMING

We will be picking you up from your hotel in Cusco around 1am depending on the season and your guide’s advice.

Expect a 3h30 drive to the parking spot where we will start our walk from. We will then begin a gradual uphill climb for about 1h30 depending on your physical condition.

Our guides are very comprehensive and patients. Once at the summit, you will certainly be on your own, everybody else will still be dreaming about being there at Sunrise.

Enjoy your time upthere, and when you are ready and if you desire so, you can trek further to see the lesser known red Valley.

Then we will start our way down, and then back to Cusco with a Lunch break.
