About this experience
Embark on an adventure to Vinicunca Mountain of Colors, one of the most amazing landscapes on the planet, where red, green and gold tones paint a unique natural scenery. As you ascend ancient pastoral paths, you will live the essence of the Andes: local communities, llamas and alpacas in freedom, and the powerful presence of the Apu Ausangate, sacred mountain for the Andean worldview. Each view is a postcard that arouses wonder and excitement.
Taking this tour in one day allows you to make the most of your trip: explore one of Peru’s natural icons during the morning and return to Cusco with a heart full of adventure, unforgettable landscapes and a deep cultural connection. It is the perfect experience for those who seek extreme nature, Andean energy and a memory that will remain forever.
