- Rainbow Mountain hike that was discovered for tourism only about 6 years ago!  

Due to the altitude of this trip, it is highly recommended that you spend at least 2 days acclimatizing at higher altitudes. As such we start this trip with a day in the city a day of the Sacred Valley tour that you will acclimatize on during the first two days of your trip before you start trekking at higher altitudes.

We need minimum 4 people to run the trip at this price, else there would be an upcharge of $500.
