Peru, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain
The two things everyone comes to Cusco for, done properly, in the time you actually have.
The trip
The two things everyone comes to Cusco for, done properly, in the time you actually have.
This is a private departure for one family or one group of friends, not a shared tour, and it exists for people who have four days and want both Machu Picchu and Vinicunca. Day one is deliberately gentle because Cusco sits at 3,400m: the historic centre on foot, then Sacsayhuaman, Q'enqo and Tambomachay, and a lesson in Andean weaving. Day two crosses the Sacred Valley, Chinchero, the Maras salt pans, the circular terraces at Moray and Ollantaytambo, then the train down the Urubamba to Machu Picchu Pueblo. Day three is Machu Picchu itself on the officially assigned circuit, with a private bilingual guide, and the train back. Day four leaves at five in the morning for Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain at 5,000m, reached by private vehicle and then by motorcycle with a local driver. The operator is unusually careful about what it promises, and so are we.
Vinicunca sits at five thousand metres. The motorcycle takes you most of the way, and the operator will not pretend it takes you all of it.
