Escape for two days to Cusco's high mountains and see two of the most spectacular landscapes in the Andes: Vinicunca, Rainbow Mountain, with its mineral stripes revealed by the retreat of the glaciers, and Humantay Lagoon, with turquoise waters and glacial origin, at the foot of the Salkantay snow-capped peak. Two high-mountain treks in a single trip, designed for those who already know Cusco and want to go a step further, to landscapes that very few people visit in the same itinerary.
Places you will visit:
- Rainbow Mountain Viewpoint (Vinicunca, 5,036 m above sea level)
- Soraypampa
- Humantay Lagoon (4,200 m / 13,780 ft), at the foot of the Salkantay snow-capped peak
