About this tour
Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain (Mountain of Seven Colors), is one of the most photographed landscapes in Peru. Its red, yellow, green and lilac stripes were formed by the oxidation of minerals over millions of years. The hike is demanding because of the altitude, but the reward is a unique view of the mountain and the Ausangate glacier.
