Embarking on the Rainbow Mountain Adventure was an exhilarating journey that left us in awe of the natural wonders of Peru. Our day began bright and early with a prompt pickup from our hostel in Cusco, setting the tone for an adventure-packed day ahead.

As we traveled through the picturesque landscapes of the Cusco region, our anticipation grew, and upon reaching Cusipata, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast to fuel our adventure. The journey continued to the starting point of the hike at Pampa Chiri – Pitumarca, where our knowledgeable guide briefed us on the trail and the surrounding mountains.
