Live the experience of the Mountain of Colors (Vinicunca) with a hike surrounded by impressive Andean landscapes. After breakfast in Cusipata, you will start the ascent to the viewpoint to enjoy spectacular views and take pictures. You will then return to taste a typical lunch before returning to Cusco.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • We will hike more than 5,000 meters above sea level and feel the pure and cold air of the Andes mountain range.
  • We will arrive at the main viewpoint to see the turquoise, golden, purple and red stripes formed by minerals millions of years ago.
04:00 AM – 04:45 AM: Pick up from your hotel.

The agency’s minibus passes by your accommodation in Cusco while the city is still sleeping. It is ideal to sleep in the car during the first section.

04:45 AM – 07:00 AM: Trip to the South and Breakfast.

You will travel for about two hours to the south of Cusco. You will stop in a village along the route (such as Cusipata or Tintinco) where the agency offers a basic buffet breakfast to gain energy.

07:30 AM – 08:45 AM: On the way to the starting point.

The bus continues along an unpaved dirt road, up the mountain until it reaches Phulawasipata, the parking lot where the hike begins.

09:00 AM – 10:30 AM: The Ascent Walk.

Start the uphill trek. The trail takes between 1 hour and a half to 2 hours depending on your pace. The path is flat at the beginning, but it becomes very steep in the last section. You will see streams, Andean landscapes and hundreds of alpacas.

10:30 AM – 11:30 AM: Time at the Summit (5,036 m a.s.l.).

You will arrive at the main viewpoint in front of the impressive mountain with turquoise, gold and red stripes. You will have time to take photos, rest and enjoy the beautiful view of the snow-capped Ausangate.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM: Downhill Walk.

The descent is along the same route and takes about 1 hour. It is much easier and faster than the climb.

12:45 PM – 02:00 PM: Trip to lunch.

The bus starts and takes you back to the morning restaurant.

02:00 PM – 03:00 PM: Buffet Lunch.

You will enjoy a hot lunch of Andean and Creole food to recover all the lost strength.

03:15 PM – 05:30 PM: Return to Cusco.

 Final trip on the bus back to the city. The shuttle will drop you off in the center of Cusco (usually near Plaza Regocijo).

This will open our booking form, where you must select your preferred departure date. Then, fill in each participant’s personal information. The last step is payment, which can be made by credit or debit card.

In addition, there are additional options, such as a sleeping bag, trekking poles and an emergency horse. The emergency horse must be booked in advance, while the sleeping bag and trekking poles can be reserved and paid for in our office one day before departure.

Can I store my extra belongings in your office?

Of course, you can store your extra belongings in our office. You don’t need to bring them a day before your departure. You can simply hand them over to our guide when he picks you up from the hotel at 4 am. Our driver will transport the items to our secure warehouse, where they will be stored safely. Once you return from your hike, we will return your belongings to you immediately.

Why is its price more expensive than other travel agencies?

There are several reasons. Firstly, our van stays at the trailhead, allowing for a quick evacuation in case someone gets sick. Secondly, our guide is equipped with a satellite radio for reliable communication. Third, we provide shelter in our campgrounds, providing extra protection from the cold, rain, and snow. Finally, we limit the size of the group, ensuring a personalized service for each participant.

What if I get sick in the middle of the walk?

In case you get sick during the crossing, our team is fully prepared to handle the situation carefully and effectively. Our van remains parked at the trailhead for the entire two-day hike, ensuring quick access if needed. In such a situation, our experienced guide, along with the support of the entire team, will prioritize your safety and initiate an immediate evacuation at the trailhead. Once you arrive safely at the trailhead, the van will transport you directly back to Cusco, ensuring that you receive the necessary medical attention without delay

Very good experience in Machu Picchu. May 2026 The company was very attentive and clear with the instructions at the time of booking. They told us that availability was limited but that they would help us get the tickets, very kind and gentle. They coordinated everything to visit Machu Picchu; the schedules were the best, and above all, the guide is an expert. Recommended!!! Review of: Tour to Machu Picchu by Train from Cusco
