To get to the Hanchipacha settlement, where we will stop for breakfast, it takes roughly 3 hours of travel time. Then we’ll take a 15-minute drive to the town of Quesiuno (4.326 m/14.189 ft) to begin the about three-hour walk to the Rainbow Mountain (most of the way up). The Ausangate peak, several red mountains, and authentic local homes are just a few of the breathtaking vistas we will see on the ascent. You will have time to explore the region and take pictures once we reach our destination, the Rainbow Mountains (5,020 m/16,466 ft), our last destination. We’ll be here for around 30 to 60 minutes (depending on your trekking speed and weather conditions).
After taking in the breathtaking panorama from the summit, we will descend to the Quesiuno village, the starting point of our hike, which takes about two hours, and then take a vehicle to the Hanchipacha hamlet for lunch. After that, we’ll leave you in Regosijos Square and return to Cusco. We’ll wrap up our journey in the magnificent Humantay Lagoon the next day.
Your mountain guide will take you up from your accommodation at a very early hour (about 4:00 am).
We will make our first stop of the day in Mollepata to have breakfast and replenish our energies before continuing on to Soraypampa, which is located at 3920 meters above sea level. This is your chance to learn more about the Sky Camp, which is situated in front of the spectacular, snow-capped Salkantay and Humantay mountains.
After a short break, we’ll be ready to start the ascent up to the trail’s highest point, passing through beautiful landscapes encircled by a range of mountains.
