About this experience
Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley are becoming the main attraction to see after or before Machu Picchu. As you could guess, the mountain is famed for its natural, multi-colored beauty at a staggering 5,200m above sea level. This rainbow-like appearance is created by the sediment of minerals throughout the area giving the mountain the turquoise, lavender, gold and other colors.
The red valley has one of the most beautiful landscapes, some say it is better than the mountain of colors
