About Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca)

Located approximately 3 hours southeast of Cusco, Rainbow Mountain also locally known as Vinicunca or Montaña de Siete Colores gets its vibrant colors from natural mineral deposits layered over millions of years. Its remote location and elevation kept it hidden from the public until recently, becoming one of Peru’s best-kept secrets, now revealed to the world.

The route itself is relatively easy – a wide dirt road with a gentle gradient, but the real challenge is the elevation. The thin air makes breathing difficult, and even fit travelers can feel tired more quickly than usual.

Tour Difficulty & Altitude:

Maximum Elevation: 5,036 meters / 16,522 feet
Hiking Distance: Approx. 6 km (round trip)
Difficulty: Moderate (we adjust the pace to your comfort)
Altitude Tips: Spend at least 1 day in Cusco before this tour to acclimatize.

Worried About Altitude Sickness? You’re Not Alone

Let’s be honest, climbing 5,000 meters may sound extreme, if you’re wondering “Will I get altitude sickness on Rainbow Mountain?”, you’re not alone. Many travelers wonder the same thing too.

But here’s the good news: you can prepare and enjoy the adventure safely.

We recommend spending at least 2 days in Cusco to acclimatize, drink plenty of water and take it easy. This is your private tour, so there is no pressure to rush. Our guide carries oxygen and knows exactly what to do if you get sick. And yes, horses are available if you need one.

You have it all. We are with you every step of the way.

Rainbow Mountain Hike

Difficulty:

The hike is rated moderate to difficult, the route presents several factors that contribute to its level of difficulty. One of the main challenges of hiking Rainbow Mountain is the terrain itself. Hikers traverse rocky slopes, uneven trails and steep climbs that demand good balance and endurance.

Altitude is a major factor on this trek. Cusco, the starting point of the hike, is already at high altitude, and as hikers make their way up to Rainbow Mountain, the air is even thinner. Proper acclimatization is essential to mitigate the effects of altitude sickness and ensure a safe and enjoyable trek.

Fitness Level Requirements:

Due to the uneven terrain and the high altitude, a good level of fitness is recommended for this trek. Previous experience on similar hikes and regular cardiovascular exercise can help prepare you for the demands of the Rainbow Mountain hike.

For those with limitations, renting a horse for the hike up to Rainbow Mountain is a practical solution. Locals offer this service along the trail to assist tourists. Opting for a horseback ride facilitates accessibility and saves energy, ensuring that everyone can participate in the adventure.

Sacred Valley Lovely Day

Vanessa P

March 2025

My family of 3, including my 10 year old son traveled to Peru for Spring Break and we booked our Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tours through Come See Peru Tours. They took care of us during our trip as planned and helped us have a hassle free trip. We were received at the airport and our tour guide was with us during our planned tours, and he was very patient and accommodating with our son. The staff were friendly, timely, helpful and knowledgeable. We got to see so much during this trip. We didn’t have to wait in line for anything. We got the awesome seats in the PeruRail with the best view of the Urubamba River on our way to and from Machu Picchu. I feel like they paid attention to every detail during the trip and tours to make our trip memorable!

Stunning Sacred Valley

We had an outstanding time in our private tour with Carlos and Michael. Better than expected. Beautiful county and they took great care of us! Sacred Valley is a must!

Wonderful Sacred Valley Tour!

May 2025

My sister and I were referred to Come See Peru from a friend, and we are so grateful for the referral. We did the Sacred Valley Cultural Experience. Carlos (our guide) and Michael (our driver) were knowledgeable, flexible, and fun!

Here are a few specific aspects that I would like to mention:

1. Flexible. We really appreciated the flexibility that we were afforded. We did our half day Sacred Valley trip in between accommodation switches. So we were picked up in Ollantaytambo and dropped off in Cusco. Additionally, we had to be picked up a bit later than the original start time, and Carlos and Michael were happy to accommodate.

2. Informative. Carlos expertly led us around the three sites we visited (Ollantaytambo ruins, The Salt Mines, The ruins of Moray). He actually took us in an order that allowed for there to be less tourists when we were present, which was really nice. He provided us with historical context and answered all of our questions.

3. Patient. Carlos and Michael gave us time to sit in the beauty that is these amazing locations. Carlos is a wonderful photographer as well and offered to take our picture at some really neat places in each location. When we did the Chicha tasting and salt demonstration, they waited while we shopped. We never felt rushed, which we appreciated.

4. Fun! Overall, we had a really good time with Carlos and Michael. We chatted and laughed about all sorts of things. We appreciated the private tour aspect so we could really go at our own flow and connect and just enjoy.

Thank you Carlos and Michael for a lovely exploration of the Sacred Valley! You will be at the top of our list when we return to see Pisac and Chinchero!

Wow! I booked a customizable 2-day tour to include all of the main Sacred Valley sights because I wanted to start the first day in Cusco and end in Ollantaytambo and use the tour as transportation as well. Come See Peru was so easy to work with, communicating extremely quickly via WhatsApp to design my perfect itinerary. They also suggested some stops that I did not know about.

Our guide Ruben was positively incredible and really made this tour amazing. He presented the history, culture, geography, & food information in such a compelling way! We learned SO MUCH because he is an incredible storyteller. None of the main sites (moray, maras, ollantaytambo, etc) have much signage and we wouldn’t have been able to appreciate them half as well without Ruben. He was also an amazing photographer, always choosing the best locations to take photos of my husband and I.
The vehicle was a comfortable van, which was private, and we had a driver who dropped off and picked up whenever we needed and also stayed with our luggage the day that it was in the car.

Overall, the price was fair for the value received and I would definitely recommend reaching out to Come See Peru to build a customized tour for your trip to the Sacred Valley!

Excellent service

Faqs

Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is a private excursion to Rainbow Mountain worthwhile?

Absolutely. A private tour allows you to go at your own pace, avoid the crowds and enjoy a more personalized experience. If you don’t like traveling with people you don’t know, this is the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Rainbow Mountain conveniently and flexibly.

2. How difficult is the hike to Rainbow Mountain?

The hike to Rainbow Mountain is moderately challenging mainly because of the altitude, not the distance. It’s around 4 miles (6.5 km) round trip, but you’re walking at over 5,000 meters (16,500 feet). If you’re not used to high altitudes, it is best to take it slow and stay hydrated. Our Rainbow Mountain private tour includes the option to ride a horse if needed.

3. Can I take a horse instead of hiking the whole way?

Yes, horses are available for rent directly from locals at the start of the trail in the community. If you’re concerned about altitude or just want to save your energy, riding a horse is a good option.

4. What time does the private Rainbow Mountain tour start?

We usually pick you up from your hotel in Cusco around 4:00 a.m to beat the crowds and enjoy the place with no so many people. But considering this is a private tour, we can adjust the departure time based on your preferences and pace.

5. Will I get altitude sickness at Rainbow Mountain?

It’s possible, especially if you haven’t acclimated properly in Cusco first. We always recommend spending at least 2 days in Cusco before doing the hike. Our guides carry oxygen and first aid kit just in case.

6. What should I wear when hiking Rainbow Mountain?

Layers are key. The mornings are chilly, but it warms up fast.

Bring:

A warm jacket
Gloves and hat
Sunglasses and sunscreen
A raincoat (the weather changes quickly)
Hiking boots or sturdy footwear with good grip

7. Is Rainbow Mountain as colorful as in the photos?

It depends on the weather. When it is sunny, the colors are very vivid. If it is cloudy or raining, the colors may appear duller. Either way, the views are breathtaking and the scenery is unique in Peru.

8. Are there restrooms along the trail?

You can find very basic restrooms at the check point and also along the route, depending. We recommend that you bring your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer, just in case.

9. Can I take my children on the Rainbow Mountain tour?

It depends on their age, fitness level and altitude tolerance. We have had families with children as young as 8 years old (with horse support).

Teri G

Sacred Valley Lovely Day Will was our guide and he was wonderful! The tour was everything we hoped for. The day was filled with so much and Will made sure we were having the best time we could. Ask for Will- he was wonderful!

Jaydina B

Been on many tours, would have to say this tour was one of best tours that we’ve been on for the last 25 years This company was quick to respond on setting up our tour to sacred valley from Ollantaytambo. The expert guide Carlos who accompanied us was outstanding informative, and entertaining. He knew his history and answered all of our questions on the ruins we visited. He brought us to the perfect spots for taking pictures and making our videos. The itinerary was very well thought out. Their attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting an educational and fun tour. they will deliver! I would also like to add that I forgot my camera in the tours car. They found it and returned it back to me at my hotel.

Marcelo C

Great Day Tour of Sacred Valley Scheduling the tour on-line was very easy. Communication from tour coordinator was excellent, he helped us plan an extended tour for the day out of Cusco. Our driver and tour guide were great. We had a wonderful day touring around, seeing the sites, learning the history of the area and stopping to get a local drink and purchase some nice souvenirs. I will recommend this tour group to my friends and family.

Ginette P

Wonderful half-day tour from Ollantaytambo! Our half-day tour of the Moray Ruins & Salt Flats was amazing. From the time of booking to the completion of our tour, the communication was great. We were picked up at our hotel punctually as discussed (and dropped off afterwards within the timeframe). From there, Carlos our guide provided us with a lot of interesting information and was always willing to take pictures of us or even make extra stops so that we can capture the beautiful landscapes around us. Enough time was allowed at every stop which was much appreciated. Our driver Christobal also assured that we were safe with his great driving skills. But the thing we appreciated the most was that the tour was available from Ollantaytambo (shorter drive than from Cusco) and that we were able to only have our small family group of 4 people for the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.Ginette

Sun-Woong K

Get Carlos and Rene! Great experience Carlos was an exceptional tour guide with great insight, great English, and very accommodating. Also gave us tips for our other destinations. Tour was informative, not intense walk, and facts were fun. He recommended a great restaurant too which we all enjoyed. Would definitely recommend. Rene was the driver, ride was smooth, efficient, and he was very helpful with luggage.

Dubaigateways

Excellent Pisac guide and tour. A very entertaining and comprehensive tour ( from Cusco to Pisac to Ollantaytambo) excellently delivered by our guide Carlos. A fabulous day, and we cannot recommend him more highly!

Judy H

Outstanding tour. Don't miss learning more about Sacred Valley with a pro guide/driver This was our second half-day tour with our guide Carlos and his sidekick (driver) Rene, who was an expert navigator through some very narrow roadways and along mountain trails. On this day we visited the ruins of Olantaytambo, Pisac, and the Pisac market. As we were passing through Calca, the town famous for cuy, Carlos allowed us to detour so that we could taste it in the most local restaurants where it is made traditionally. We were so grateful to have this experience, which for sure you would miss on a group tour. We are staying in Ollantaytambo, and while we could possibly have visited these ruins on our own, we would have missed so many nuances and history that only a seasoned guide like Carlos could give us. We were thrilled for everything we learned and saw here. I almost felt like nothing could have been better, but the Pisac ruins also are outstanding. Carlos taught us about the architecture and is a great storyteller about so many things we would have glossed over. He pointed out so much valuable information to us that we would have lost with a group tour or self-exploration. Also, you have to do a bit of climbing, and it was helpful to have Carlos's steady hand a time or two during the descent. HIGHLY recommend Come See Peru Tours if you really want to understand about these historic places, the culture of the people, and so much more. We are so glad we added these stops in Sacred Valley to our itinerary. We know they will enhance our time when we get to Machu Picchu.

Judy H

Do this tour with Come See Peru Tours! Such a worthwhile experience! Our tour was from Ollantaytambo, not Urubamba, but Carlos (guide) and Rene (driver) provided an outstanding experience. We highly recommend you spend a few days acclimating in Sacred Valley and include the Moray ruins and salt flats on your itinerary. Carlos's English was impeccable and his knowledge of the ruins, the salt flats, and all the areas we were driving through—and more—is vast. We had two smaller stops throughout the day including for some local chocolate and vanilla bread, which was very delicious and also a visit to sample chicha and also learn all about how it is made, we tasted some delicious Peruvian chocolates that were enhanced with salt from Maras along with a few other salted seasoning mixes, which was actually a fun and interesting experience. There is so much more to Peru than Machu Picchu (although we certainly are including that in our trip). But understanding Sacred Valley really is enhancing our trip, and visiting from Ollantaytambo also means that we also were the first to arrive at the salt mines before all the visitors arriving from Cusco, which made our picture taking experience much better! We highly recommend Come See Peru if you are looking for an excellent and rich experience.

Jason S

Exceeded Expectations The entire team exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Julio, Renee, Rose, and Rebecca are the best.

At Come See Peru Tours, we don’t have tour guides — we have Chief Experience Officers. And they are all locally based, meaning they know the area you’re exploring like the back of their well-travelled hand.

Built to support local communities

We have always created our tours by building meaningful relationships with local communities, directly benefiting the people and places we visit.

Flexibility, freedom, fun

No matter the Travel Style, our tours balance well-planned itineraries with the flexibility to do your own thing and make the experience your own.

Come see Peru Tours for Good

When you travel with us, you experience first-hand our commitment to making travel a force for good is in everything we do.
