We take the path less traveled to Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley are amazing and can be seen on the Majestic Ausangate. This is a challenging day of hiking. Spend some time in Cusco to acclimate (we recommend 3 days in Cusco or similar elevation). The hike takes place over 5000m (16,000ft) and is about 10 kilometers Aprox of length, with an elevation of 485m (2,250ft). The main reason this trek is difficult is because of the elevation.
