Experience an unforgettable adventure with our Rainbow Mountain and Machu Picchu Tour 3 Days / 2 Nights, specially designed for travelers who want to combine the best of Inca culture with the breathtaking beauty of the Andes. This package takes you through the mystical Sacred Valley, the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu, and finally to the incredible Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) — one of the most spectacular natural wonders in Peru.
Your adventure begins early with a pick-up from your hotel in Cusco around 6:00 a.m. We’ll drive through the breathtaking Sacred Valley of the Incas, where you’ll witness stunning Andean landscapes along the way. Our first stop is Chinchero, a charming Andean village famous for its traditional market, colonial church, and well-preserved Inca terraces.
Here, you’ll have the chance to explore local crafts and learn about the vibrant culture of the region. Next, we visit Moray, an ancient agricultural laboratory of the Incas. Its circular terraces demonstrate the advanced agricultural knowledge of the civilization and provide an incredible photo opportunity. Afterward, we continue to the Maras Salt Mines, where over 3,000 pre-Inca salt pools create a unique and spectacular landscape.
Around 1:00 p.m., enjoy a buffet lunch in Urubamba, savoring traditional Andean cuisine. In the afternoon, we explore the impressive Ollantaytambo Fortress, a combination of military and agricultural architecture from the Inca era. From here, we board the train to Aguas Calientes, arriving in the evening around 7:00 P.M., where a representative will escort you to your hotel to rest and prepare for your Machu Picchu adventure.
After breakfast at your hotel, we depart by bus to the world-famous Machu Picchu Sanctuary at approximately 7:00 A.M. Upon arrival, a professional guide will lead you on a two-hour guided tour through the most important sectors of Machu Picchu, including the Main Plaza, Temple of the Sun, Intihuatana, and the Inca agricultural terraces.
After the guided tour, you will have free time to explore the citadel independently, take panoramic photos, or, if booked in advance, hike Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain for an unforgettable perspective.
Around 1:00 p.m., we descend to Aguas Calientes, where you can enjoy lunch (not included) or explore the local market and hot springs. In the afternoon, we board the train back to Ollantaytambo and continue by bus to Cusco, arriving at your hotel around 10:00 p.m. Rest and prepare for the final day of adventure.
The final day begins very early at 4:00 A.M. with a departure from Cusco toward Cusipata. Upon arrival, enjoy a traditional Andean breakfast before beginning the hike to Rainbow Mountain. The hike takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes through highland landscapes and small local communities.
At the summit, over 5,000 meters above sea level, you’ll marvel at the spectacular rainbow-colored geological formations, created by natural mineral deposits in the soil. From this vantage point, you’ll also enjoy views of the snow-capped Ausangate Mountain, the highest peak in the Cusco region.
Take about 45 minutes to explore, take photos, and soak in the scenery. Afterward, we descend back to Cusipata for a well-deserved lunch. Around 2:00 p.m., we depart for Cusco, arriving at your hotel by approximately 5:00 P.M., concluding your three-day journey through the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain.

Muy linda experiencia! El traslado y el guía estuvieron muy bien. Es una caminata exigente pero muy bonita. Estaría bueno tener una media hora más para recuperarse y subir hasta la cima donde salen mejores fotos. Al menos con mi estado físico no me dio el aire para hacer todo tan rápido!

El guía fue excelente. Tenía muchos conocimientos y fue considerado con nuestras limitaciones. Viajábamos con nuestra madre, que tiene más de 75 años, y él fue muy amable. Le recomendaría, el guía turístico fue el mejor elemento de la experiencia.
