About this experience

We know that there are mountains and amazing hills in the whole world, but whoever looks at the Ausangate viewpoints, will discover the thousand colors that this unique mountain shows. A geological gem that is becoming very famous, very fast. Because of the uniqueness of its landscapes, we do not doubt that this incredible mountain will soon be known, as the mountain of the 7 colors will be one of the most desired hiking routes in the world; The mountain AUSANGATE (VINICUNCA) is located only 100 km from the city of Cusco and is the 4th highest mountain in Peru, it is nothing less than 6,372 meters high; its exposed minerals (iron oxides, copper sulfates and others) are shown to form an almost surrealistic image.
