Ausangate Trek with Rainbow Mountain
Alpaca Expeditions · Cusco to the Ausangate region and Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca)
Alpaca Expeditions lists this as a challenging, three-day guided trek from Cusco through the high Andes around Ausangate, ending at Rainbow Mountain. The itinerary crosses remote mountain terrain, passes high Andean lakes and glacier scenery, and camps at elevations around 4,600–4,700 metres before reaching Rainbow Mountain at 5,030 metres. The operator describes cold conditions, with nighttime temperatures potentially below 0°C, and provides guides, porters, camping support, meals and transportation. The itinerary returns to Cusco after the final hike.
