Private tour to Vinincunca Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley
Description
Rainbow Mountain (also called Vinicunca or simply 'colorful mountain') is one of the best new attractions in Peru. Located more than 100 kilometers from the city of Cusco, on an altitudinal summit located 5,200 meters above sea level. It is a mountainous formation dyed in various shades as a result of the complex combination of minerals. The slopes and summit are dyed in various shades including red, purple, green, yellow, pink and other variations. This tourist attraction was surrounded by ice not many years ago. Since 2016, this place receives hundreds of visitors a day, becoming, along with Machu Picchu, one of the most visited places in Cusco-Peru.

An amazing experience! The place is absolutely beautiful, and our guide, Freddy, was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. He took great care of the entire group and provided excellent recommendations throughout the tour. Everything was very well organized, and the logistics ran smoothly from start to finish. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.

One of the best place we have visited in Peru and all thanks to Fredy who was our tour guide. He took great care of us and made our visit to Rainbow mountains memorable for lifetime.
Freddy was a brilliant guide and i had an amazing time on the red valley and vinicunca rainbow mountain tour. Would highly recommend
Our visit to Rainbow Mountain was incredible! The views were stunning, but what really made the day special was our guide, Fredy. He was kind, attentive, and shared lots of interesting information throughout the hike. I highly recommend taking a horse — it makes the climb easier and lets you enjoy the beautiful Red Valley at the end, which is truly worth it. Thanks again, Fredy, for your support and energy. A must-do experience in Peru!
