After approximately two hours of travel, we will pass the village of Cusipata and reach Tintinco. There we will enjoy a breakfast that will give us the necessary energy to face the trekking route through the Rainbow Mountain.

Once satiated, we will return to the bus to the community of Chillihuani, where we begin the hike at 4600 meters above sea level. Following the guide’s indications, we will ascend among mysterious peaks while encountering Andean animals such as alpacas, sheep, and vicuñas.
