Destination
Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) tours from Cusco: early departure, breakfast, lunch and hike to the colored mountain with expert guide.
Rainbow Mountain
Vinicunca became famous only a few years ago, when the melting of its ice revealed stripes of red, yellow, turquoise and lilac created by different minerals. Today it is one of the most photographed places in Peru, with views of the snow-capped Ausangate.
We leave Cusco very early to arrive before the crowds, have breakfast in a local community and walk at a comfortable pace to the viewpoint at more than 5,000 m. Optional: the Red Valley, a spectacular extension with almost no people.

WhatsAppThe walk is about 5 km each way on a well-marked trail. The difficulty comes from the altitude; with good acclimatization most travelers complete it without problems.
Palccoyo is an alternative colored mountain with a shorter, easier walk and far fewer people. Vinicunca is higher and more iconic.
The colors are visible all year, but they look brightest in the dry season. Snow occasionally covers the mountain in the rainy months.
