Trip Highlights

🌈 Rainbow Mountain Private Tour – 1 Day

Q: 1. What is the real difference between a private service and a group tour to Vinicunca?

First of all, the primary difference lies in the exclusivity of time. In shared tours, schedules are rigid and depend on the punctuality of up to 20 different people. In contrast, on our private service, the itinerary is entirely tailored to you.

Q: 2. How difficult is the hike to the Rainbow Mountain?

The hike is classified as moderate to high intensity, not necessarily due to the terrain’s steepness, but because of the extreme altitude. The trail is mostly flat with a final steep climb. Nevertheless, by traveling on a private service, you don’t have the pressure to keep up with a younger or more athletic group – private service.

Q: 3. At what altitude is Vinicunca located and how is oxygen handled?

The highest point, the Vinicunca viewpoint, is located at 5,029 meters (16,500 feet) above sea level. This is significantly higher than the city of Cusco. Consequently, the lack of oxygen is noticeable from the very first steps.

Q: 4. Is the tour recommended for children or seniors?

Certainly, it is possible, but it requires special preparation. For children over 8 years old and active seniors, the private service is the only recommended option. The reason is simple: flexibility in private service.

Q: 5. What does the breakfast and lunch include in a private tour?

Unlike massive dining halls where food is prepared in large volumes and often loses quality, our private service prioritizes nutrition and flavor. For example, our breakfast in Cusipata includes hot options, fresh fruit, Andean grains like quinoa, and eggs made to order.

Q: 6. When is the best time of year to visit the Rainbow Mountain?

Undoubtedly, the best season is during the dry months in the Andes, which run from May to October. During this period, the sky is usually clear, and the mountain’s colors look more vibrant under the sun.

Q: 7. Is it necessary to rent a horse to reach the summit?

Effectively, for many people, renting a horse is a massive help, especially during the first 40 minutes of the ascent. Horses are managed by the local community members of Llacto.

Q: 8. What gear and clothing should I bring for the tour?

The weather at 16,500 feet is unpredictable. Consequently, the key is to dress in layers (the “onion” system). We recommend:

Q: 9. Why does the private tour start so early (3:00 AM)?

This is the most frequent question. The short answer is: to give you exclusivity. If we were to leave at 5:00 AM like traditional tours, you would arrive at the mountain alongside 40 buses and over 1,000 people.

Q: 10. Is it worth visiting the Red Valley (Valle Rojo)?

Absolutely! The Red Valley is a hidden gem located right behind the Rainbow Mountain. While 90% of tourists return via the same path due to time constraints, our private service offers the option to descend through this intense crimson valley that looks like it’s from another planet.

Tour Highlights

DETAILED TOUR ITINERARY

🗺️ Detailed Itinerary: Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca (Private Service)

Experience the world-famous Rainbow Mountain like very few do. Our private service is meticulously designed to bypass the massive crowds, allowing you to witness the morning glow over the painted hills in peace.

Phase 1: Early Departure for an Exclusive Experience (3:00 AM – 3:30 AM)

First and foremost, your adventure begins with a private pick-up directly from your hotel or accommodation in Cusco. The strategic reason for our early start (3:00 AM) is to ensure you are the first on the mountain. By the time the large tour buses arrive, you will already be enjoying the summit, giving you a serene and much more personal connection with the landscape.

Phase 2: Breakfast in Cusipata & Scenic Approach (5:30 AM – 7:30 AM)

After a comfortable 2-hour drive in our private transport, we reach the community of Cusipata (3,400 m / 11,154 ft). Here, we will enjoy a delicious, energizing breakfast to prepare for the trek. Subsequently, we continue our journey for another 50 minutes until we reach Llacto (4,630 m / 15,190 ft), the official starting point of our hike.

Phase 3: The Ascent to the Vinicunca Pass (7:30 AM – 10:30 AM)

Now, we begin our ascending hike. Because this is a private service, you can set your own pace. The average trek takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the famous Vinicunca Pass (5,029 m / 16,500 ft). Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the breathtaking 360-degree view of the “Mountain of Seven Colors” and the majestic Ausangate glacier. We provide the necessary time for you to take professional photos and soak in the views before the cold high-altitude winds become too intense.

Phase 4: Descent and Return Journey (10:30 AM – 1:00 PM)

After enjoying the summit, we begin our descent through the same trail. The return walk to Llacto takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Once there, our private transport will be waiting to take you back to our restaurant in Cusipata for a well-deserved, freshly prepared lunch.

Phase 5: Arrival in Cusco & Afternoon Rest (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM)

Finally, we head back to the Imperial City. Depending on the group’s pace and acclimatization, you will arrive at the Plaza de Armas or your hotel between 2:30 PM and 3:00 PM. Consequently, you will have the entire afternoon to rest and enjoy Cusco’s evening atmosphere without the exhaustion of a late-night return.

🌈 Main Landmarks & Places to Visit Rainbow Mountain Service Private

Visiting the Rainbow Mountain in Private Service allows you to appreciate the geological wonders of the Andes without the pressure of a crowd. Here is the exclusive route we will follow:

1. Cusco: The Departure from the Imperial City

To begin with, our private adventure starts directly at your hotel. The main advantage of our private service is that we depart earlier than the standard tours. This strategic start ensures you are one of the first visitors to witness the sunrise over the Vilcanota mountain range, avoiding the long lines of tourist buses.

2. Cusipata: A Gateway of Flavor and Tradition

After a comfortable 2-hour drive in our modern private vehicle, we arrive at the district of Cusipata. Unlike the mass tours that use crowded communal dining halls, our service includes a stop at a selected spot for a freshly prepared Andean breakfast. This stop is essential to fuel your body for the high-altitude challenge ahead.

3. Phulawasipata: The Exclusive Trailhead

Following our breakfast, we continue for another hour until we reach the starting point of the hike. In our private service, we ensure your equipment (trekking poles and oxygen) is ready. Being in a private group allows you to start the trek at your own pace, with your guide focusing entirely on your well-being and oxygen levels.

4. Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain): The Geological Masterpiece (5,200 m / 17,060 ft)

Undoubtedly, the highlight of the day is reaching the summit of Vinicunca. Because of our early departure, you will enjoy the iconic “Rainbow” colors—created by sedimented minerals—with much more tranquility for your photos. Your private guide will explain the fascinating geological process that created these colors and the cultural importance of the “Apu” Ausangate, the highest peak in the region, visible from the viewpoint.

5. Red Valley: The Hidden Gem (Optional Expansion)

Additionally, because this is a private service, we offer the flexibility to explore the nearby Red Valley. While most group tours skip this due to time constraints, our private itinerary allows you to walk through this “Mars-like” landscape, which offers a stunning contrast to the multi-colored mountain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultimate Guide & FAQs: Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca Private Service

Rainbow Mountain, known locally as Vinicunca, has rapidly become the second most visited destination in Peru after Machu Picchu. However, its popularity has brought massive crowds. For this reason, experiencing this natural wonder via a Private Day Tour is not just a luxury; it is a necessity for those seeking authenticity, safety, and a real connection with the Andes.

1. What is the real difference between a private service and a group tour to Vinicunca?

First of all, the primary difference lies in the exclusivity of time. In shared tours, schedules are rigid and depend on the punctuality of up to 20 different people. In contrast, on our private service, the itinerary is entirely tailored to you.

Furthermore, our main goal is to “beat the clock.” By departing at 3:00 AM in private transport, we reach the summit just as the sun begins to illuminate the colors, and most importantly: before the massive 30-passenger buses arrive. This guarantees you clean photos without crowds in the background and a silence that large groups can never experience.

2. How difficult is the hike to the Rainbow Mountain?

The hike is classified as moderate to high intensity, not necessarily due to the terrain’s steepness, but because of the extreme altitude. The trail is mostly flat with a final steep climb. Nevertheless, by traveling on a private service, you don’t have the pressure to keep up with a younger or more athletic group – private service.

On the contrary, you can take as many breaks as you need. Your private guide will be by your side at all times, monitoring your breathing and pace. In short, with patience and the personalized support of our team, people of various ages have successfully reached the summit.

3. At what altitude is Vinicunca located and how is oxygen handled?

The highest point, the Vinicunca viewpoint, is located at 5,029 meters (16,500 feet) above sea level. This is significantly higher than the city of Cusco. Consequently, the lack of oxygen is noticeable from the very first steps.

To ensure your safety, our private service includes a portable oxygen tank for the exclusive use of your group and an advanced first-aid kit. Our guides are trained in wilderness medicine and know how to identify the early symptoms of altitude sickness (soroche), acting immediately to ensure your experience remains safe and pleasant.

4. Is the tour recommended for children or seniors?

Certainly, it is possible, but it requires special preparation. For children over 8 years old and active seniors, the private service is the only recommended option. The reason is simple: flexibility in private service.

If a family member feels tired, the guide can decide to pause the trek or suggest hiring a horse (available from local villagers). In this way, no one feels pressured, and the family experience remains positive. However, we always recommend a prior medical consultation if there are any underlying heart or respiratory conditions.

5. What does the breakfast and lunch include in a private tour?

Unlike massive dining halls where food is prepared in large volumes and often loses quality, our private service prioritizes nutrition and flavor. For example, our breakfast in Cusipata includes hot options, fresh fruit, Andean grains like quinoa, and eggs made to order.

For lunch, we offer a gourmet menu with local ingredients, avoiding the long lines of tourist buffets. Likewise, we cater to special dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free) if requested at the time of booking—something standard tours can rarely guarantee with quality.

6. When is the best time of year to visit the Rainbow Mountain?

Undoubtedly, the best season is during the dry months in the Andes, which run from May to October. During this period, the sky is usually clear, and the mountain’s colors look more vibrant under the sun.

Even so, it is possible to visit Vinicunca during the rainy season (November to March). Although there is a risk of snow or fog, the landscape becomes dramatic and mystical. Therefore, if you choose to travel during these dates, our private service offers the advantage of adjusting the departure time based on the previous day’s weather forecast to maximize your chances of a clear view.

7. Is it necessary to rent a horse to reach the summit?

Effectively, for many people, renting a horse is a massive help, especially during the first 40 minutes of the ascent. Horses are managed by the local community members of Llacto.

Nonetheless, it is important to know that horses cannot reach the final viewpoint due to the steepness and trail protection; the last 10 to 15 minutes must always be done on foot. On our private service, your guide will assist you in negotiating the horse rental and will walk alongside the animal to ensure you are comfortable and secure.

8. What gear and clothing should I bring for the tour?

The weather at 16,500 feet is unpredictable. Consequently, the key is to dress in layers (the “onion” system). We recommend:

Base Layer: Breathable thermal clothing.
Mid Layer: A fleece or warm sweater.
Outer Layer: A high-quality waterproof and windproof jacket.
Footwear: Trekking boots with good grip (essential).
Protection: High SPF sunscreen, UV-filter sunglasses, and a wool hat for the cold.

Remember that the high-altitude sun burns intensely even when it is cloudy. Being well-equipped is fundamental to enjoying the day.

9. Why does the private tour start so early (3:00 AM)?

This is the most frequent question. The short answer is: to give you exclusivity. If we were to leave at 5:00 AM like traditional tours, you would arrive at the mountain alongside 40 buses and over 1,000 people.

By departing at 3:00 AM, we reach the peak when there are fewer than 50 people at the summit. As a result, you will be able to take spectacular panoramic photos, hear the Andean wind, and have a spiritual experience of peace that is impossible to obtain in the chaos of 11:00 AM.

10. Is it worth visiting the Red Valley (Valle Rojo)?

Absolutely! The Red Valley is a hidden gem located right behind the Rainbow Mountain. While 90% of tourists return via the same path due to time constraints, our private service offers the option to descend through this intense crimson valley that looks like it’s from another planet.

Because it requires an additional 30-45 minutes of walking, it is the perfect complement for those who want to get even further off the beaten path. For many, it is even more impressive than Vinicunca itself.

11. How does climate change affect the mountain?

It is important to mention that the Rainbow Mountain was only recently discovered (around 2015) due to the melting of the glaciers that once covered it. For this reason, we are very conscious of the ecosystem’s fragility.

By hiring a private service with us, you support responsible tourism. We work with guides who educate on area conservation and ensure we “leave no trace.” In conclusion, your visit helps generate income for the communities of Cusipata and Pitumarca, incentivizing the protection of this natural heritage.

12. What is the booking process and health policy?

Finally, to book, you only need to contact us with your details and desired date. Since this is a private service, we recommend booking at least one week in advance to secure the best guide and vehicle available.

Regarding health: It is mandatory that you have spent at least 2 days in Cusco (or a similar high-altitude area) before taking this tour. We do not accept bookings for your first day of arrival in Cusco, as the risk of severe altitude sickness is very high. Your well-being is our number one priority.

🏆 Are you ready to conquer the summit of Vinicunca?

Don’t settle for a crowded tour where you are just another number. Rainbow Mountain is a physical challenge and a visual reward that deserves to be experienced with the greatest comfort and safety possible.

Treck de Salkantay en 4 jours parfaitement organisé avec notre guide Herbert, alias Papas, à la fois très sympathique et professionnel. Super cuisinier (Jorge) également, pour des plats réconfortants après des heures de marche dans ces superbes montagnes !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I booked the 3N/4D Salkantay Trek with Okiodoki and let me tell you – we had the best time.

First of all: The Staff was amazing, very kind and super helpful. Alvaro (together with his wife Rosmary owners of Okidoki) replied within minutes to all our questions via whatsapp. A few days before the trek he welcomed us in his office, explained the tour in details and helped me getting over my fear, that the trek might be to hard for me (needless to say: all went perfectly fine and it wasn‘t as hard as I thought). They provided me with hiking poles (30 PEN for the 4 days) and in addition they lent me a daily backpack for free. All the material (duffle bag, sleeping bag, daily backpack) was in perfect condition and the sleeping bag really kept us warm during the cold night at the foot of the Salkantay.

Our guide, Guilleromo, was probably the main reason why we had such good time. He timed the whole trip very well without being too pushy. That means, that everything went as it should and we always met our daily goal according to the timetable. Guilleromo is very kind and helpful. He made sure to keep us safe on the trip and inriched us with his profond knowlege of plants, the mountains, the indigenous community and the incas. Overall you could feel his passion for the nature, the mountains and the local cultur. We couln’d have wished for a better guide. Thank you so much Guilleromo!

Our chef, Roger, prepared delicous meals, which were always right on time. The table was brautifully set and our special needs (vegetarisn or allergies) were always met. Also, the breakfast was a lot richer than I exprected and every day we got something new to try.

Simon, the owner of the three mules, also was very sweet and kind and always a helping hand to Roger and Guilleromo. He made sure that our duffle bags arrived on time and we‘re still impressed how fast he managed to get from one campsite to the other!

Second: compared to other tour companies, the groups at Okidoki are usually small. That allows you to get to know the participants in a more profond way. We happend to be a group of six people and the dynamic within the group was great.

Third: the price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Of cours: don’t expect your trip to be luxurious. But keep in mind that you are doing a multiple day trip in the mountains and what they manage to offer, is already  impressive. Particularly the first accomondation is very authentic and allows you to sleep under a sky full of stars with view on the salkantay. All accomondations are clean and you‘ll have a good sleep.

If it‘s in your budget we would recommend to opt for the train to get back to cusco (costs arround 100 USD more). It only takes 4 hours (instead of 7h by van) and you won‘t have to walk additional 10km to the busstation after your visit to the Machu Picchu on your last day. After two hours train you‘ll get picked up by a van/bus to complete your journey back to Cusco.

Overall we would recommend to book a trip with Okidoki for all reasons above and of course the amazing experience of the Salkantay!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons fait l’Inca Trail en deux jours et l’expérience a été excellente. Tout était parfaitement organisé : transports, repas, hébergement. Notre guide Guillermo connaissait très bien le terrain et a su nous partager sa passion avec enthousiasme. L’arrivée au Machu Picchu par la montagne restera pour nous un souvenir inoubliable - Je recommande!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with OkiDoki was excellent - Alvaro's organization and booking skills were incredible and we even got to do 2 circuits within Machu Picchu on the 2D/1N Inca Trail rather than just one. He even made it so that it was just us on the tour which made it extra special!

Our guide, Alcides, was truly exceptional and made the experience 10x better and personalised.  I would definitely try to request him if you are doing the Inca Trail with OkiDoki. The lunch we were provided was extremely comprehensive and included many many snacks, so I would not purchase any snacks of your own before going, but definitely bring water!

The hotel we were booked in Aguas Calientes + the included dinner was so-so, but for the price you cannot really complain!

The only downside we had was that Alvaro was sometimes not great at communicating and his emails sometimes made it seem as though he did not full understand what you were saying. You are also meant to pay the remaining cost (bar the deposit) in-person in cash and we organized this, but Alvaro then began hassling us and saying we had not paid in time despite having a discussion with him about when we were going to pay! This made one of our days in Cusco very stressful and we were rushing our day to get back in time to pay Alvaro and once we did he was not even there and made us wait an extra 2h to turn up and accept the payment.

Overall, despite this slightly negative experience, I would still recommend OkiDoki to visit Machu Picchu because of their organization, knowledge of the laws and ticket booking systems, and their database of guides (go Alcides!!!!). Just make sure to complete the payment ASAP when you get to Cusco to avoid issues!

La qualité de l'équipement fourni était très agréable aussi. Nous avons pu adapter le rythme à notre envie et nous avons visité le site avant tout le monde nous permettant d'être seuls! C'était magique
