In the Andes south of Cusco, Vinicunca — also called the Seven Color Mountain or Rainbow Mountain — is one of Peru’s most striking landscapes. Bands of mineral deposits run across the ridge in turquoise, maroon, red and yellow, with snow-capped peaks behind.
Getting there from Cusco means a drive followed by a moderate but high-altitude hike. The viewpoint sits above 5,000 meters, with the massif of Ausangate — the tallest mountain in the region — looming to one side.
Peruways runs guided day trips out from Cusco: early pickup, breakfast on the way, licensed guide, horses available at the trailhead. For details on the trip, visit Peruways — we’ll confirm pickup time and gear advice when you book.
