Recommendations for Your Rainbow Mountain Tour

Spend at Least One Day Acclimatizing in Cusco

Rainbow Mountain sits above 5,200 meters (17,060 ft). We highly recommend spending at least one full day in Cusco before the tour to reduce the effects of altitude.

Wear Warm Layers and Hiking Shoes

Temperatures at the summit can fall below 0°C (32°F), even during the dry season. Wear warm layers, waterproof clothing, gloves, a hat, and sturdy hiking shoes.

Stay Hydrated and Bring Snacks

Bring at least 2 liters of water per person along with energy snacks such as nuts, granola bars, dried fruit, or chocolate.

Bring Cash and a Fully Charged Camera

Entrance fees, horse rentals, and local purchases are usually paid in cash. Since Rainbow Mountain is one of Peru’s most photographed destinations, we also recommend bringing extra batteries or a power bank.

Confirm Your Reservation

Please confirm your reservation via WhatsApp at least 24 hours before your tour so we can coordinate your pickup details.
