Enjoy the natural colors of the rarely visited Rainbow Mountain, located in one of the mountain ranges of Peru that has the highest concentration of snow-capped peaks and near the highest peak in southern Peru, the Ausangate (6,377 meters) in the mountain ranges of Vilcanota. This creates beautiful high-Andean landscapes with extensive snow-capped mountains and beautiful lagoons. We will travel through some isolated communities, where you can interact with the locals that still keep alive the culture that are mostly alpaca breeders, which will make this tour a unique experience. You will see snow-capped peaks, herds of llamas, glaciers, and turquoise lakes, all within an incredibly colorful mountain range.
We pick you up in your hotel around 3:30 to 4:00 a.m.
then we’ll travel 02 and ½ hours on a bus to Pitumarca, where you’ll have a delicious breakfast. After we continue to K’ayrawiri (4326 m/14192 . ft), this is the trailhead where we start the hiking.
First we walk 2 and a 1/2 to three hours until you will find a beautiful landscape, big mountains, and local people with their typical clothes making their daily lives. You will find big groups of alpacas, llamas, and sometimes wild Vicuñas, as well as small lagoons created by the thaws of the glaciers. Once you arrive at the summit (5020 m/16469 ft.), you will have free time to rest and to take your pictures.
Then, we start to go back by a different way, the “Red Valley." We call it that for the red color of the mountain soil; they look pretty nice. This will be another three-hour walk downhill to arrive again in Japura, where you will have a comforting lunch, and then we will bring you back to Cusco again (arrival around 6:30 or 7:00 p.m.).

Percy was a fantastic guide, and the whole hike to Choquequirao was magical. The route was very varied and Percy timed everything perfectly so that we had the best hiking and time to explore the site when we got there. We will be back again!

Our hike to Choquequirao was a beautiful experience. Our guide Percy was well informed, kind and very knowledgable. We felt well looked after the entire time (the cups of tea delivered to our tents in the morning were a particular highlight). Even after four days I wasn’t ready to leave.

We initially tried booking with one of the more popular companies, but they were fully booked. So, we decided to give this smaller company a try—and it turned out to be the best decision! Smaller groups made the experience more intimate, and the guides were incredibly attentive. Here are some examples of why it was a great experience: Percy and Iza, our tour guides, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. They paid close attention to our needs, making the entire journey enjoyable and safe. On top of that, the cooks provided by the company were outstanding—creative, skilled, and very considerate. I have a gluten intolerance, and I felt very special because they would make an effort to prepare separate dishes for me. It made me feel truly valued. Despite not exercising much before the Salkantay trek, I was able to complete it thanks to Percy and Iza’s support. They motivated me every step of the way, and I felt safe and cared for throughout. I’m so grateful for their kindness, humor, history about the trek and professionalism. When we go back to Cusco we’re definitely wanting to book here and have Iza/Percy as our guides… if we can . Thanks for making our trip so memorable
