Vinicunca mountain/Vallee rojo
We had booked to make the Palcoyo mountain.
Unfortunately this one was inaccessible due to weather conditions.
Unable to postpone the visit, the agency added us to a group to make the Vinicunca mountain (aka rainbow mountain).
We took the opportunity to make the rojo valley which is sublime.
We had the guide Cristian who was very friendly and gave us a lot of information.
The agency staff is also very friendly, welcoming and professional!
Unique views, worth the trip way op!
It is a full-day trip that starts at 4 am. You have to be physically fit as the elevation is super high. Views are worth it. If you feel the 4-mile walk is too much, horses are 60 soles, and the guide will take you to the top in 20 minutes. So a unique place. Lunch and breakfast are included at a local farm. The drive is rather long, 2 hours each way, half on the gravel roads. We felt safe and well taken care of during the trip. Expect to feel a bit dizzy when on top, you are NOT a local there :-)
