From there, we continue with our trip for 1 hour and a few more minutes until we reach the parking area where we started our walk. Here, we will stop to have a brief talk about of how our tour will be. We begin our walk at the slopes of the Ausangate mountain range. There will be an ascent of approximately two hours to the highest point of the Rainbow Mountain. During this trip we will have the opportunity to see the different types of South American camelids (Alpacas, llamas and with good luck, some groups of wild vicuñas). Upon reaching the Rainbow Mountain, we will have time to enjoy the beautiful landscape and take pictures.
Finally, we will continue our trip with a descent of 1 hour and a few more minutes back to where the walk began, Here, the driver will be waiting for us to return to our restaurant where we can have lunch, after this stop, we return to Cusco, arriving at 3:00 pm approx.
NOTE: After visiting the rainbow mountain, there is the option to visit the Red Valley. You have to walk 30 minutes more approximately and you must pay 20 extra soles for entering the area, at the same time if you want to rent horses to make the climb easier, check with your guide.
It is very important to stay in Cusco or in places of greater elevation for 2 days or more before the expedition to acclimatize. Although the walk is only 3 hours, if you are not well acclimatized you may have difficulties during the trip.
