Tour Summary
The day tour to the Mountain of 7 colors is a great opportunity to make a hike through the high Andean mountains and reach more than five thousand meters above sea level. We can see beautiful high Andean landscapes and especially the imposing mountain of Winincunca or better known as the mountain of the 7 colors, that resembles a combination of paintings with the impressive colors that shape the mountains, forming a unique setting. Its singular appearance is due to the sedimentary rocks that are in erosion in the cordillera of the Andes of the Vilcanota to the South east of the City of the Cusco.
General Information

EVERY DAY
This tour starts with pick-up from your hotel very early with pick-up between 3:30 -4:30 in our mobility. Then we drive through the valley south of the city of Cusco on the paved road Cusco – Sicuani to the place called Checacupe. Here we turn east reaching the village of Pitumarca where we will have a breakfast buffet at approximately 07:40 a.m. Then we continue in our mobility to the Rural Community of Pampachiri for 45 minutes.
Then we will go through the entrance door, where we will have to pay for the tickets. Then the peasant community will offer us the horses for those who do not want to walk and our guide if necessary will help us to negotiate the price with the mugler of the horses.
Approximately at 9 o’clock in the morning we start the walk, which will last 1 hour and 30 minutes until you reach “Vinincunca” or mountain of 7 colors.
Upon arrival you will have free time to take photos, and tour the area to the highest point (5200 meters above sea level). Keep in mind not to exceed the time indicated by your guide to stay on the mountain, because you may get altitude sickness or lack of oxygen. Then we return to Pampachiri by the same road, take the transport and return to the village of Pitumarca for lunch buffet at 01:30 p.m.
After lunch, return to the city of Cusco. Finally we arrived in the city of Cusco between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. leaving our travelers very close to the main square.

Recommendations
- Do the route considering your physical condition and adaptation to the altitude. We recommend taking this hike after having spent a few days acclimating. Our tour guides carry a first aid kit and an oxygen tank for use if necessary.
- We recommend wearing proper hiking shoes, as this is a high mountain route.
- Bring a backpack (maximum 25 liters) with your camera, hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle.
- It sometimes rains on the mountain, so we recommend bringing a rain jacket and warm clothing, as well as a change of clothes you can leave in the transport to use after the hike if you get wet.
- You can also bring coca leaves or coca candies — they help give you extra energy during the hike.
