rainbow mountain
Description
enjoy a beautiful route to the Ausangate valley on a walk of only 1 hour approximately, in which we will appreciate a mountain range that as we ascend will change its colors until we reach Vinicunca known as the Mountain of 7 colors or Rainbow for its similarity with the colors of the Rainbow and known as Cerro Colorado. The Vinicunca mountain is located at 5200 m.s.n.m, and due to the large amount of minerals that it has developed as a result of the thaw it has obtained its colors that attract hundreds of tourists a year.

Andean Paradise is an excellent agency where they take care of everything so that you have a great time in Cusco, they are very attentive to everything and Sadith is very attentive to any questions you may have, I had an excellent time on my visit to Peru and the tours are wonderful, I recommend Andean Paradise 100%
muchas gracias Esteban por tu visita y por confiar en nosotros , estaremos felices de volverte a recibir en otra oportunidad Dios mediante . nuestro equipo agradece tus bonitas palabras de agradecimiento.
This was a very difficult excursion. The altitude is high but the tour operators worked hard to make sure that everyone was alright. My family and I, had a great time taking on the challenge of Rainbow Mountain & we’re better for it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌈 We’re so happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the Rainbow Mountain adventure, even with the challenge of the altitude. It was our pleasure to look after you and make sure everyone felt comfortable. We’re proud of you for taking on this experience — you did amazing! 💪✨
We had a really good experience! Everything was well planned. They picked us up at the right time with a comfortable combi and we even had blankets to sleep and for the cold. We had a few stops to go to the bathroom and even stopped if someone needed to go. The tourguide was really good and a great person (her name was Ruth). She always had an open ear, answered all our questions we had along the way and knew a lot about the backgroundstories of the 🌈 mountains. When one of us got the altitude-sickness she was right there and helped with a spray that worked wonders. Up at the mountains there was a good amount of time to enjoy the view and take pictures and you could even eat something. In addition to that we stopped to have breakfast and later lunch: it was delicious and had a lot of variety. Even if you are vegan or vegetarian: There is something for everyone. The trip was definitely worth it!
We booked in advance with the agency, they organized all the places to visit for us. A wonderful experience, they made us feel at home. Sadith, a very kind person who was advising us at all times, highly recommended. The guides were very professional, my friend had difficulties due to the height on Rainbow Mountain and the Guide was with her, motivating her and providing first aid services and we were all able to reach the goal 5200 meters above sea level THE AROCIRIS MOUNTAIN. I recommend them
Poorly ran tour. Guide was abandoning people, did not speak English sufficiently (description had English as a language), lunch stop was of low quality, not a good choice of food. Disorganized. We have regrets and feel like need a redo.
