Full description
Drive approximately 2.5 hours after your pick-up from your hotel in Cusco. You will stop in Pitumarca for a delicious breakfast before continuing your way towards the amazing Rainbow mountains.
Now it's time to start your walk uphill that will take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. During the hike, you will be able to see beautiful landscapes with many mountains covered in snow, local people with the typical dress of the region and breeders of llamas and alpacas.
Once you reach the top, make use of some free time to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful view. Start descending through the Red Valley for about 3 hours to reach Japura where transport will wait for you. This path will be more special because you may be one of the only groups on this route. Before returning to Cusco you will stop for a comforting lunch.
