Pick-up from Cusco hotels occurs between 4:00-4:30 AM, followed by a three-hour drive to Quesinouno for breakfast. The guide provides a high-altitude hiking briefing and local community insights. The uphill hike to Vinicunca Rainbow Mountains begins, offering views of llamas, alpacas, Ausangate Mountain, and adobe houses. The guide ensures everyone's well-being en route to the summit at 5,020 meters, where there's time to explore and an optional hike to the red valley. After about an hour at the top, a two-hour descent to Quesinouno starts, followed by a lunch stop in Hanchipacha and the return trip to Cusco.
