Rainbow Mountain Peru has become one of the Top Destinations in South America.
The Rainbow Mountain Trek is a stunning trek through the wildest and rarely visited areas in Peru.
Enjoy the natural colors of the stunning Rainbow Mountain Peru, hiking through a beautiful Andean valley, in which you may interact with the local people who are still keeping traditional Quechua culture alive! You will see snow-capped peaks, herds of alpaca, glaciers, and birds of prey, all set within an incredibly colorful mountain range. The Rainbow Mountain Trek offers opportunities to see a range of wildlife including soaring eagles and caracara falcons. The colorful sandstone mountains in the Vinicunca area are very different from any other landscape you may visit in Peru!

Rainbow Mountain Peru

Rainbow Mountain Peru

The Rainbow Mountain Peru, also known as Vinicunca, is stunning and can be seen on the spectacular Ausangate Mountain itself is considered a holy mountain (or mountain spirit) by local Peruvians and is the deity of Cusco. Since pre-Inca times the mountain has been a place of worship and offerings and this tradition continues today.

 

RAINBOW MOUNTAIN TREK

Journey through an undiscovered land of wild desert landscapes, snow-capped peaks, herds of alpaca, and arrive at the ultimate destination – The Rainbow Mountain Peru hidden deep in the Andes.

Throughout your journey, you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate Mountain towering in the distance. You will experience first hand how locals live in the mountains and even have a chance to speak with them. As you get closer to Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the Rainbow Mountain Cusco, and finally, with one last push, you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360-degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up this sacred land in Cusco – Perú.

The Rainbow Mountain Trek in Peru, also known as Vinicunca, is a spectacular place near the snowy Ausangate glacier which is considered a sacred mountain by local people, is one of the most important deities of ancient Cusco. Since pre-Inca times the mountain has been a place of worship and offerings and this tradition continues until nowadays. Most trips that let you see the Rainbow Mountain Peru requires a trek of at least five or six days. That has changed with this new itinerary. We have designed for this walk, so now that it can be done as a day trip.

On this walk, you will see picturesque villages, beautiful “adobe” houses, herds of llamas and alpacas, and you will have a magnificent view of the glacier Ausangate Mountain (6,385 m / 20,945 feet).

Our one-day tour to Vinicunca, or Rainbow Mountain Cusco, will take you through remote high-altitude deserts and through isolated communities found in the Vilcanota mountain range. In addition, you’ll be able to witness the immensity of the sacred Ausangate Mountain (6,300 masl / 20,900 fasl), the highest in the region. Immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the inhabitants of this area, contemplate the walk of numerous herds of llamas and alpacas, and be a first-hand witness of millions of years of geological history.

The Hike
The Hike - Drew Magary This was an incredibly fun read! Witty writing, and I never knew what was gonna happen next. As a Marylander, I appreciated the Maryland jokes.

The Hike
The Hike - Drew Magary Thought provoking and entertaining. I expected this to be lighter, but it turned out to be much more of a puzzle. Some of it was laugh out loud funny and some of it was heartbreakingly relatable to real life. It's fast moving and fun. Highly recommended. Expect more of an Alice In Wonderland type story, with whimsical, dream-like craziness.
