The trek to the Rainbow Mountain Cusco is easier compared to longer treks like the Inca Trail, Salkantay Trek, Ausangate, Lares, etc. However, we always recommend our clients to be in good physical condition, as well as acclimatized. That is why we suggest you arrive in Cusco 02 days before your departure to adapt to the altitude.

If you wish to do any of our hikes, whether it is Montana 7 Colors or another hike, of course, you can participate. To do so, you must inform in detail your allergic condition at the time of booking, as well as the severity of your reaction and any medication you take in case of emergency.

If your allergy is severe, we ask you to be accompanied by a friend or person aware and fully responsible for your situation and ready with any medication.

To do the 02 days of the 7 Colors Mountain route, it is usually not necessary to have hiking poles since our route is not too complicated. However, if you have any problems with your knee, then it is recommended that you have hiking poles.

If you need but do not have walking poles to do 02 days Montana de Colores, do not worry. In this case, you should contact Inkayni Peru Tours for more information.

Although the 7 Colors Mountain is a favorite destination for its visitors, from the beginning of our hike to the end it will be somewhat difficult to find toilets. Also, remember that we will be spending the night at the Ananta camp, but this will not be a problem for us. For this reason, we will carry portable toilets so you can enjoy our trek in peace.

During our tour of Rainbow Mountain, we observed that the access to the electrical service is limited, which is why we find it difficult to find electricity to charge the battery of our camera or cell phone. For this reason, we recommend you bring your own extra battery or portable charger, so you will not suffer any inconvenience during your entire tour.

The internet signal is null during most of the trek, especially in the Rainbow Mountain – Ausangate. However, from Cusco to a certain part of the trip by car it will be possible to get an internet signal on the cell phone. After that and during the rest of the trip we will be in an open country, so we will not have an internet signal.

If you have luggage before the start of your hike that is not necessary for the Rainbow Mountain trek, do not worry. You can leave it stored in your hotel in Cusco (most hotels offer this service for free) if you wish. In case your hotel does not offer this service, we will store your luggage safely in our office.

Travel insurance is optional but highly recommended, whether in the case of a visit to Rainbow Mountain or another trek. Travel insurance allows you to make arrangements for support between the various institutions as soon as possible, in the case of an incident on the route. The cost will be borne by travel insurance.

For example: In case of an accident, it compensates you economically to cover the expenses either for consultation, hospitalization, or medicines. It also assists in case you suffer any decompensation or discomfort. Likewise, it provides you with support in getting an ambulance anywhere. In case of any problem, it also provides 24-hour telephone assistance.

Here are some recommended travel insurance websites for the Ausangate trek:

The best time to visit Rainbow Mountain, and have good weather is between April – October, since during these dates we have the presence of clear skies and to a lesser extent rainfall. Mainly the driest months are between June – August, which is winter in the Andes.

January to March is summer in Peru, however, the rainy season is present for Cusco, Salkantay, Laguna de Humantay, and Rainbow Mountain.

If you are going to do the Mountain of Colors, remember that the service starts with the pick up from your lodging, as long as it is within the historic center of Cusco. The return also ends at your hotel or another similar that is located in this area.
