About this experience
Hike to the Astounding Multi-colored RAINBOW Mountain in a PRIVATE TOUR.
Close to the city of Cusco is one of the most stunning natural sights you can imagine — the mountain of seven colors, Rainbow Mountain, or Vinicunca and also the Red Valley that will make you feel as if you have set foot on Mars. If you’re looking for an exciting day out of the city, that’ll challenge you but give you the most fantastic rewards, this is the perfect option.
Get ready to discover one of the most impressive natural wonders on the planet in the middle of the Peruvian Andes. If you visit Cusco, this day trip is a must! Our one- day tour to Vinicunca, or Rainbow Mountain, will take you through remote high-altitude barren lands and through isolated communities found in the Vilcanota mountain range. You’ll also be able to witness the immensity of
the sacred Ausangate mountain (6,372 m/ 20,905 ft), the highest in the region.
