One day excursion to the rainbow mountain, a challenging walk due to the lack of oxygen at altitude. Nothing difficult as long as you follow the advice of your private guide, who will accompany you all the time. We also really recommend you to spend at least 3 days in Cusco to acclimatize a bit. You will hike for more than 4600m (15092ft) and total length about 7 kilometers (4.4 miles) in about 4 hours round trip. The Highest point is 5040m (16540ft).
