Explore the breathtaking multi-colored Vinicunca Mountain on this classic day hike from Cusco. Located at 5,200 meters above sea level, this beautiful mountain and the nearby Red Valley showcase some of the most impressive scenery in the Peruvian Andes.
We will pick you up early from your hotel then head to the Cusipata District (Quispicanchi) south of the city of Cusco, where we will make a stop to get any necessary supplies such as water or energy drinks, snack, cereals, etc.
After this short stop, we will continue our journey where we will observe the multicolored landscapes and crops that are mixed between the mysterious mountains and snowy mountains, Andean animals such as llama, alpaca, sheep, vicuñas and the deep valleys. Shortly thereafter we will arrive at the picturesque town of Chirihuani, here we will enjoy a delicious Andean breakfast prepared by our Chef.
After this we will travel to the starting point of our hike. We will hike for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes up the mountain until we reach the slopes of the Red Valley, the place of access to this mystical place.
We will walk along a path of gradually changing landscapes between mountains of intense colors and small streams of icy water that feed and give life to this valley, as we walk we will observe how the colors around us will change due to the weather, we will arrive at a height of 5,200 meters above sea level.
Here we will have ample opportunity to take pictures, videos, etc. After enjoying the extraordinary views we will undertake the walk back to the starting point, where from which we will travel to the town of Fulawasi, where we will have a delicious buffet lunch prepared by our chef before returning to Cusco in the late afternoon.
