Description

Located in the Peruvian Andes in Cusco, just 5 hours from the historic center, the Rainbow Mountain is becoming the main attraction to see after or before Machu Picchu. As you can imagine, the mountain is famous for its natural, multi-colored beauty at an astonishing height of 5200 m above sea level. This rainbow appearance is created by the sediment of minerals throughout the area that gives the mountain the turquoise, lavender, golden and other colors.

Great trip and great value

We were picked up on time. Breakfast was lovely. Guide ( Evelyn ) was so helpful. Explained everything and made sure everyone knew the different options. It’s a hard walk up to the mountain but there are alternatives. Horses and bikes. She took time to let us go everywhere. Great value trip.

All right.

All right, we made many excursions with this company and without complaints, the only thing right in this would have needed some more stories and explanations on the trip.
