The official website of Rainbow Mountain Peru giving you regular updated information about how to get to Rainbow Mountain, weather updates, trekking tips & advice and much more!
Just 3 hours from Cusco, Rainbow Mountain is an incredible experience with spectacular views along the way.
Depart Cusco early to avoid the crowds to get those amazing solo photos at the Mountain.
Wear comfortable shoes for the walk/trek. Rainbow Mountain Travels provide trekking poles which are very helpful
Travel with the official tour operator Rainbow Mountain Travels who have all official permits and licences to enter the Mountain.
Bring some cash (Peruvian soles) to enter Red Valley (highly recommended) or hire a horse in case you get tired. You can decide these things on the day.
Avoid informal “cheap” operators or taxis to the Mountain – potential to ruin your once in a lifetime experience. If prices seem cheaper than others then be suspicious!
Do NOT book on websites like Viator or GetYourGuide as they charge 40% commission to tour operators and most companies listed are cheap informal companies.
