Day trip to the stunning Rainbow Mountain

Rainbow Mountain is the most beautiful freak of nature that you will ever see in your travels. It stands tall (5,020 m/17,060ft) and its uniqueness is its many vibrant colors. These astonishingly striking colors are formed by weathering, the environment and mineral deposits. The site is nestled in the Andes mountains in the South of Cusco, with spectacular views of the snow-capped Ausangate Mountain.

Hike through some secluded communities, where you interact with the indigenous people who are still keeping their culture alive and speak their indigenous language of Quechua! Ask your guide to translate for you if you have any questions.

On your walk to Rainbow Mountain see snowcapped peaks, herds of llamas, glaciers and turquoise lakes, all set within an incredibly colorful mountain range. The Rainbow Mountain trek offers a selection of wildlife including soaring condors, cara cara falcons, and if you’re lucky, bobcats or pumas. The colorful sandstone mountains are probably the coolest and most unique natural phenomenon you will experience in Peru.
