A five-day breathtaking trek in the Cordillera Vilcanota, on a route we call the “The trail of the Apu” located in close proximity to the highest sacred mountain in the Cusco region, Mt. Ausangate. The Apu Ausangate is the bearer of life and the guardian of one of the most pristine mountain ecosystems in the world.
The trek is accompanied by llamas and horses that will carry our gear. These are owned by shepherds of the native community of Chillca who are proud to share their land with us, as well as the Spirit of their inspiring world. On our hikes and in our unique Andean lodges, daily meals will be prepared by experienced chefs who will introduce you to a great variety of delicious Peruvian dishes and produce, and for your entertainment: authentic vernacular music, played by local inhabitants, will liven up some of our evenings at the "tambos."
Embark on a captivating journey through Peru’s highlands and jungles. From exhilarating bike rides down the Malaga High Pass to exploring the awe-inspiring citadel of Machu Picchu, every moment promises adventure and discovery. Traverse ancient paths, engage with vibrant local culture, and immerse in breathtaking landscapes, rounding off each day with authentic Peruvian hospitality.

We start early in the morning (around 5:00 am) when your tour guide and a driver will pick you up from your hotel. The first stop of the day will be at Mollepata where you will have a breakfast. Then continue your journey to Soraypampa. Take some rest and prepare yourself for the uphill hike to reach the highest point of the trail. Along the way, you will travel across wonderful landscapes surrounded by mountains.
Enjoy surreal views of Humantay Lake (4300 masl) and its surrounding mountains and glaciers. Then get into your transport and drive back to Cusco where you will reach at around 5:00 pm.
Outside of Cusco lies a truly magical landscape of colored mountains and sweeping valleys in the Andes. While Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) has gained a lot of fame among travelers, thereby receiving hundreds of visitors on a daily basis, few travelers realize that there are multiple rainbow mountains dotting this other-worldly landscape.
Be part of this off-the-beaten-track experience and travel to Palcoyo during this day trip. Starting from the Main Square of Cusco, we will take you to Palcoyo where you can take pictures and enjoy this otherworldly landscape before it is time to travel back to the city.
Although not as popular as Vinicunca, Palcoyo, discovered only in 2018, is very similar to the well-known mountain. And since few travelers know about this, you can be assured of encountering fewer tourists when you are hiking through its landscape.
Do not miss out on this opportunity to visit Rainbow Mountain, one of Peru's most popular landmark, during a day trip. We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at around 3:30 am in the morning and drive you through the South Valley. The drive to the trailhead takes around three hours long. We will also provide you with breakfast along the way.
Set off on the hike following a lovely stream. Herds of alpacas and llamas will surprise you along the way. In case you are lucky, you might also come across chinchillas and vicunas. Enjoy views of Ausangate Mountain as you hike through villages and interact with the local residents.
Reach your destination after around 90 minutes of hike. See the Rainbow Mountains (5,020 m) and explore the surrounding landscape. You will spend approximately 30 minutes at the top before it is time to hike downhill, which takes around two hours.
Hop into the private ban and continue your journey back. There will be a stop for lunch before we head to Cusco. The total journey back to Cusco takes around three hours and we will drop you off at your hotel in the city at around 5:00 pm.
Immerse yourself in the enchanting landscapes of the Andes as you journey from the vibrant city of Cusco to the mystical ruins of Machu Picchu. This adventure-packed itinerary will take you through breathtaking mountain passages, historical Inca sites, and picturesque valleys.
