The peaks in the Ausangate mountain region of Cusco in the Peruvian Andes are all uncommonly colored: Some are terra cotta, some lavender, others are a vibrant turquoise. They’re colored by the sediment and atmosphere of the area, unique because of its altitude and isolation close to the ocean. But none are quite so marvelous as Vinicunca, also known as Rainbow Mountain.
To be sure, those who love hiking will enjoy the journey; the Vinicunca trek is one of the most popular among visitors to Cusco. There are hot springs, local villages and vendors, stunning views of the Ausangate Glacier, and llamas and alpacas along the way. And nothing caps off almost a week of trekking like a visit to this breathtaking painted mountain.
The 1 day Rainbow Mountain is a fantastic option for those who don't have enough time, On this trek we´ll hike the full length of the Vinicunca Trek, the difference is only the pick up time from your hotel, it will be at 3:00am and return at 19:00pm
