Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) has become a must-visit destination for travelers in Cusco. But when it comes time to decide how to get there, many wonder: is it better to take a tourist bus or are there other options?
In this guide, we explain why traveling by tourist bus to Vinicunca is the safest, most complete, and convenient choice—especially if you book with formal local operators like us. Here, there’s no room for mistakes or improvisation.
What Are the Options to Reach Rainbow Mountain?
In theory, there are three main ways to get there:
Formal tourist bus tour from Cusco
Renting a private taxi or car
Going on your own using local transport
However, not all options provide safety, comfort, or reliability. Here’s why a well-organized tourist bus stands out from the rest.
Advantages of a Tourist Bus to Vinicunca
Hotel Pickup: No need to search for bus stops or walk early in the dark.
Professional Bilingual Guide: Accompanies you throughout the route and handles any needs.
Andean Breakfast & Buffet Lunch Included: Balanced meals served on time.
Authorized and Safe Transport: Comfortable buses with permits and experienced drivers.
Direct Coordination & Support: No confusion, delays, or last-minute changes.
Everything is planned so you can focus solely on enjoying the hike and the stunning landscapes.
What About Taxis or Improvised Tours?
Hiring a taxi may seem flexible, but it’s usually more expensive, does not include a guide or meals, and often lacks proper authorization to operate in rural areas.
Even worse, tours offered by resellers or informal agencies often involve:
Schedule changes without notice
Lack of guide or poor-quality transport
Route problems due to missing permits
This is why more travelers are choosing to book directly with local operators like us—ensuring reliability, experience, and personalized service.
