Walking Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain 4D3N

Machu Picchu is one of the seven wonders of the world, it is an Inca citadel located high above 2430m in the Andes in Peru, on the Urubamba river valley, department of Cuzco. This Inca fortress was built in the 15th century and then abandoned, it is famous for its sophisticated dry stone walls that combine huge blocks without the use of mortar, fascinating buildings that relate to astronomical alignments and panoramic views, the exact purpose of these constructions still remains a mystery.

The famous mountain of seven colors or Vinicunca, is located more than 100 kilometers from the city of Cuzco, in an altitudinal summit located above 5,200m. The Vinicunca is one of the most impressive mountains of the snow-capped Ausangate in the Andes of Peru, and is located between the districts of Cusipata, province of Quispicanchi and Pitumarca, province of Canchis.
The variety of colors that sprout from the Vinicunca mountain is the product of mineral erosion.

You would need to include flights, lodging and meals in the city, we do not include them in our tours for the following reasons:
– Lodging in Lima and Cuzco: Each passenger has a different need (we only separate lodging in places where the options and offers are very reduced, for example, in this tour we have included lodging in the city of Aguas Calientes).
– Food in town: The food preferences of each passenger is different, so we prefer you to explore the flavors of your preference (we only provide food in the camps when trekking).
– Flights: You can book the airline of your preference, we know that there are complete offers from your country of origin.
If you wish to include any of these services in your tour you should contact our travel agents so that they can assist you and include it in your tour pack.

No, our service starts from your hotel in the city of Cusco and the day you start your tour according to the schedule of the itinerary, from there, your tour leader will accompany you from end to end throughout your vacation until you return to your hotel of origin.
While it is true that the tour leader accompaniment is exclusively for the tour itinerary, we also operate in the city of Lima, we are attentive to provide all the assistance and extra support you need, but keep in mind that expenses for extra care are not covered in this tour.
Remember that we also have adventures in Lima, you can take advantage of your free days to visit lagoons, waterfalls and mountains within the territory of Lima, you can check our offers.

Both wonders are located in the city of Cuzco.
Cuzco is located south of the capital of the department of Lima, capital of Peru. From Lima to Cuzco a commercial flight will take you in one hour, while if you go by bus you will arrive in approximately 24 hours.

This tour pack has been designed for those who wish to walk lightly and get to know the two most emblematic and popular places in the city of Cuzco and Peru. This tour pack goes out of the traditional offers of conventional tourism agencies that offer full mobility to get to these emblematic places, but as we know that you love walking and that you belong to the mountains we have designed this package for you.

You can do this trekking any day of the year, however, the recommended season is between the months of April to October, this season is known as the “Andean Summer”, because there are no longer many weather impediments (rain, low temperatures, fog, etc.) to better enjoy the scenery.
However, we all know how climate change has affected the behavior of the environment, so we cannot guarantee that an “Andean summer” will be one hundred percent perfect.
We can only guarantee the best safety for you to enjoy a hike on any day of the year.

This itinerary comprises a total of 04 days and 03 nights which translates into the necessary time you will need to spend in the city of Cuzco.
For both cases (Machu Picchu and Vinicunca) there is a different itinerary (see “itinerary”).

We consider this walking tour as a basic level, due to the distance and altitude (see technical data sheet); however, we ask you to measure your abilities before taking this tour, as the slopes and altitude could cause difficulties if you are not used to similar hikes.

Although it is true that this is a hike that we consider basic, we suggest that it should only be done by people in good physical condition and with previous experience in mountain hikes over 3000m.

During the trip in some specific places it is possible to have internet access because both places are widely crowded and telecommunications companies already provide broadband services, although not all the way, it is possible to get signal in most areas.

No, you do not need any special permission, except for your Visa or Passport, your personal identification document. We will take care of everything else.

With the registration of your tour you will not have to worry about any primary expenses (entrance tickets to the parks, mobility, guide, etc.); since we pick you up at your hotel in the city of Cusco, until we return you again, we take care of everything, transportation, lodging (with the exceptions mentioned in the summary table).
Food in the city will have to be covered by you (we only provide food in the camps when trekking), secondary expenses such as souvenirs, handicrafts, alcoholic beverages, etc. will have to be covered by you.
If you want additional services that are not included in this tour, then you must request it to our travel agents before hiring the tour.

We will accompany you from your hotel in the city of Cuzco (round trip).
While it is true that the accompaniment is exclusively for the tour itinerary and starts and ends at your hotel in the city of Cuzco, we are attentive to provide all the assistance and extra support you need in the city of Lima or Cusco, but keep in mind that expenses for extra care are not covered in this tour.
Remember that we also have adventures in Lima, you can take advantage of your free days to visit lagoons, waterfalls and mountains within the territory of Lima, you can check our offers.

On the way we will provide you with a snack for each day of trekking.

For the trip to the Vinicunca (mountain of colors) if you wish you can ride a horse to move, but keep in mind that this cost is not included in the tour, so it will have to be paid on your own (the villagers charge on average U$ 15.00 U.S. dollars per trip).

If you feel you can no longer continue at any point along the way, we have a plan to take you to the nearest town and bring you back to the city of Cuzco or Lima as needed.
In both cases, for the reasons mentioned above, if you need to cut the road or cancel your itinerary to return to the city earlier than scheduled according to the itinerary, this will have an additional cost because it will require an unplanned extra mobilization and management.

No, the rooms can be shared between two to four people, but if you want a personal room for more privacy, then you will have to previously request availability; it will depend on the availability to grant it, otherwise it will have an additional cost; that is why it is important that you book your tour well in advance to be able to configure your trip in the best way to suit you.
