EXPEDITION OVERVIEW

Discover one of Peru’s most breathtaking landscapes: Vinicunca, also known as Rainbow Mountain. With natural stripes of red, green, yellow, and turquoise, it looks like a magical painting. Located at nearly 5,000 meters (16,400 ft) above sea level, this 2-hour hike rewards you with unforgettable views, surrounded by llamas, alpacas, and the stunning Andean scenery.

Day 1: Cusco – Cusipata – Phulawasipata – Vinicunca – Cusco

Pickup from your hotel in Cusco between 4:30 and 5:00 AM. We begin the journey to the Cusipata district, where we will enjoy an energizing breakfast at a local restaurant to prepare for the adventure.

After breakfast, we continue by transport to Phulawasipata (4,600 m.a.s.l.), the starting point of the hike. From here we will begin an ascent of approximately 3.5 km over 2 hours, accompanied by our professional guide who will explain about the geology, flora and fauna of the area.

Upon reaching the summit at 5,200 m.a.s.l., you will be greeted by the natural spectacle of Rainbow Mountain with its multicolored mineral stripes: red, yellow, green, purple and turquoise. You will have plenty of time to rest, take photographs and contemplate this unique landscape.

We begin the descent back to Phulawasipata where our transport awaits. We head to Cusipata to enjoy a buffet lunch with typical regional dishes. After lunch, we embark on the return journey to Cusco, arriving approximately at 5:00 PM.

Fantastic day spent with Dilser!!!

Dilser has excellent English skills and completely helped us understand everything that we had questions about.

Visited Temple of the Moon, lunch in Trujillo, followed by Chan Chan. Not once during the day did we feel rushed or like we were asking too many questions.

I can’t emphasize the quality of this tour - his patience with our questions, knowledge of the historical and archeological processes involved, as well as his local expertise far surpass many other tours we have been on. At times, we felt like we were with a celebrity - he is well known and locals always smile when he comes around.

Highly recommend Dilser and Norte Expedition Tours if you are in the Trujillo and Huanchaco region.

Excellent tour with Dilsar, who was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke very good English, and made the archeological sites around Trujillo come alive for us during our all-day tour. 100% recommended.

Just had a tour with Dilsar Alfaro Oliva. We visited Chan Chan and the Temple of the Moon. It was a brilliant day. Dilser made the places come alive. His knowledge was extensive and he was incredibly interesting. We would highly recommend having him as a guide.

We had a great time visiting El Brujo and the Museo Cao with Dilser. He's very knowledgeable, with a lot of info for us and very nice to speak slower because my Spanish is so limited. I actually learnt a lot about Peru and I would encourage more travellers to see the north!
