Rainbow Mountain

Extreme adventure, infinite beauty

“One of the most visited attractions in Peru and Cusco is the Winikunca Rainbow Mountain. This recent discovery by climbers of the Ausangate glacier sits at 5,300 meters above sea level, offering a cold climate and an extraordinary colorful landscape typical of the Peruvian Andes. Local communities manage the area, inviting you to experience their customs, gastronomy, and traditional livestock like llamas and alpacas.

Discover the magic of Vinicunca, the famous Mountain of Seven Colors. Live an unforgettable experience hiking through Andean trails surrounded by high-altitude landscapes and friendly llamas in their natural habitat. Be captivated by the vibrant mineral stripes crowning the summit at over 5,000 meters—a journey that combines adventure, photography, and the pure essence of Cusco’s culture. A must-see destination on your bucket list!”
