About this experience

enjoy a beautiful route to the Ausangate valley on a walk of only 1 hour approximately, in which we will appreciate a mountain range that as we ascend will change its colors until we reach Vinicunca known as the Mountain of 7 colors or Rainbow for its similarity with the colors of the Rainbow and known as Cerro Colorado. The Vinicunca mountain is located at 5200 m.s.n.m, and due to the large amount of minerals that it has developed as a result of the thaw it has obtained its colors that attract hundreds of tourists a year.
