Itinerary
On the first day of your Rainbow mountain Hike with Camping, we will pick you from your hotel foyer at the delightful hour of 4am and begin our incredible Rainbow Mountain Trek peru. We set out on our 3-hour scenic drive through the South Valley, there are amazing views of farming Inca terraces, valleys and rocky mountains. While packing up our gear, our chef will be preparing a hot breakfast to get fueled up for the hike ahead of you. Our guides will go over the itinerary for the day and safety tips to ensure you are fully prepared for the next two days. The trek begins in a large green valley. where you will see hundreds of alpacas, local farmers, and the beautiful Ausangate Mountain towering in the distance. This is only a teaser for what is to come on your journey.
As you continue making your way on the trail, you will conquer the first pass of the trek, the Pucacocha pass. At around (4,876m/ 16,000 ft), the pass sits just above Pucacocha Lake, and the massive Ausangate Mountain is directly in front of you. After a successful climb, we will stop around noon to eat lunch and recharge our bodies for the remainder of the hike.
Our destination for the night is Anata, where we will enjoy a beautiful evening surrounded by jaw dropping landscape at the base of the Andes Mountains.
