Our 4-day trek to Rainbow Mountains, also known as “Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountains 4 Days” combines with the Ausangate Trail and is considered the jewel in the crown of the Andes. This is not a trek for everyone, but for those who want to get off the beaten path and find this an experience of a lifetime. Which includes 4 days of high altitude wilderness hiking and 3 nights of camping. This 4-day trek to Rainbow Mountains is fully supported trek in a smoother and leisurely pace to get the ultimate destination Rainbow Mountain. Our 4-day trek to the Rainbow Mountains is moderate to strenuous due to lengthy mileage (52km / 32.3 miles) and very high altitude passes (up to 5050mt./16,568ft.).

We can also customize this tour to be a 6-day trek with a tour of Sacred Valley on Day 5 and magical Machu Picchu on Day 6!

For these Rainbow Mountain Private Tours & Treks, it is essential to be properly acclimatized by spending at least two or three days in Cusco (or equivalent altitude) before beginning the trek to Peru’s famous Rainbow Mountains.

  • Clothing: The weather in the Rainbow Mountain changes quickly, so bring a lot of layers to be prepared. Pack t-shirts and add warmth with long-sleeve clothing and a fleece jacket. Lightweight pants for hiking.
  • Footwear: Comfortable hiking shoes or athletic sneakers with good traction are perfect for walking up to and around the Inca archaeological complexes. Multi-day hikes you will definitely want the boots for ankle support.
  • Sun protection: Don’t forget your hat, glasses, and sunblock for sun protection.
  • Day excursions: When traveling outside Cusco for a day. Bring a daypack with snug straps to carry your water, camera, snacks and other personal belongings.

  • Snacks: Energy bars, candies, cookies, etc (you can also buy fresh fruits at one of the villages’ markets).
  • Insect repellent: There are mosquitoes in the secred valley.
  • Portable chargers: It is recommended to bring charger because phone batteries run out quicky.

CUSCO

Cusco Alternative Treks – Inca Trail Alternative Treks

Hiking the Cusco alternative treks to Machu Picchu is “off the beaten path” that combines spectacular high Andean scenery with own charm & unique vistas some of Cusco alternative treks culminate at the glorious ruins of Machu Picchu and some of them no.
