Itinerary

Visit to the Rainbow Mountain

Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca is an undiscovered land full of wildly deserted landscapes, snow-capped glaciated peaks, herds of alpaca, and pristine beauty.
- Pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain towering in the distance.
- Experience how locals live in the mountains. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills.
- The guide will explain the history and formation of the Rainbow Mountain, and finally, with one last push, hike up to a vantage point that gives a 360-degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up the sacred land.
