The “
This excursion is made especially for people with limited time. Vinicunca is considered by National Geographic Magazine as one of the places to visit before you die.Most trips that let you see the "Rainbow Mountain" requires a trek of at least 6 days. That has changed with this new itinerary. We have designed this walk so that it can be done as a day trip. On this walk you will see picturesque villages, beautiful “adobe” houses, herds of llamas and alpacas, and you will have a magnificent view of the glacier Ausangate (6,385 m / 20,945 feet). With the beauty and uninterrupted solitude, this is a spectacular journey for hikers who love a true outdoor adventure.
“GET UP. GO. EXPLORE.”
