Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca Tour
Description:
The Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca in Peru, are stunning and can be seen on the spectacular Ausangate Trek. Ausangate mountain itself is considered a holy mountain (or mountain spirit) by local Peruvians and is the deity of Cusco; Since pre-Inca times the mountain has been a place of worship and offerings and this tradition continues today.
Most trips that allow you to see the Rainbow Mountains require a trek of 2 to 6 days but That has changed with this brand new itinerary. We have designed this hike so that it can be done as a day trip!
