Overview

Rainbown Mountain Tour (Vinicunca)

Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain, also known as Rainbow Mountain, is a must-see tourist destination in Peru. It is located in the Vilcanota Mountain Range near Cusco and offers a unique landscape in the world. Its slopes are covered with mineral sediments that, when oxidized, create an impressive range of colors ranging from red, purple and green to yellow and ochre.

The best time to visit Rainbow Mountain is during the dry season, from April to October. During these months, the weather is more stable and there is less chance of rain, allowing for clear views and better photographs. However, it is important to keep in mind that the peak tourist season coincides with these months, so it is advisable to book in advance.
