Rainbow mountain trek
 
Hello!
I will do the Inka trail in the end of June, and before that I will spend a week in and around Cusco.
After the Inka Trail I would like to do a Vinicunca Rainbow mountain trek, not a one day hike but one that is at least two days long, or more.
How easy is it to find a trek like that, for the beginning of July, while I’m in Cusco?
If booked directly at a travel agent in Cusco, how much do the treks cost?
Which agency would you recommend?

I'm using Ayni-Peru for a 2 day trek in September. Working with Amanda who has been extremely helpful. It is a very small company whose ethics seem to be in the right place.

Very easy. Just go to the main Plaza de Armas. Make sure you clarify everything that is and isn't included in the price. Since there are no permits required for that hike it is something you can purchase last minute.

I went to the Rainbow mountain with Tierras Vivas travel, and we have a best experience, I can recommend this company.

Take the multi-days trek, 2-5 days to enjoy it properly of the landscape. Of course there are many companies which offer this trek, but there are just few of them that make a good value for your money, and are committed with the environment. So i hiked through PERU SUMMIT, and i had a great time.

I might be on a time squeeze for Rainbow Mtn. Does anyone know anyone who has taken the 1 day hike?
