Full Day Tour to Rainbow Mountain
Description
Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca, is a geological treasure located just 170 kilometers southwest of Cusco, in the heart of the longest mountain range on the planet, the Peruvian Andes. This place, which seems to have been painted by nature itself, offers an explosion of colors that challenges the imagination and immerses us in an almost artistic beauty. The road to Vinicunca is a trek that lasts between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the pace of the walk. For about 12 kilometers (round trip), we crossed impressive landscapes, observing the life of local shepherds and native fauna, such as llamas and alpacas.

Our guide Romulo was one of the best of the tour, although we walked slowly, he waited for us until the end. The way to the mountain is really rewarding, it cost us a lot to get there, but we did it. I recommend you to visit the red valley, although we did not visit the valley, they took us to the viewpoint from where you have excellent views. very good organization, they have everything locked in and the food is a buffet.
