    Vinicunca Mountain

    Rainbow Mountain is a colorful mountainside in the high Andes of Peru. In short, the mountain's colors were formed by sedimentary mineral layers in the mountain that have been exposed by erosion. The Rainbow Mountain trailhead is located a 3-hour drive from Cusco, where day trips have recently grown quite popular.

    Red Valley (Valle Rojo) is a hidden gem near Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca), offering one of the most surreal landscapes in the Peruvian Andes. Its intense red hills, caused by iron-rich soil, create a Martian-like scenery unlike anywhere else on Earth. After visiting Rainbow Mountain, many trekkers choose to extend the hike into Red Valley, where fewer tourists go—making it a peaceful and authentic experience surrounded by dramatic colors, snow-capped peaks, and wide-open Andean views.

    2 hours Admission ticket free
