Journey through an undiscovered land of wild desert landscapes, snow capped peaks, herds of alpaca, and arrive at the ultimate destination – The “Rainbow Mountain” hidden deep in the Andes.
Throughout your journey you will pass through a vibrant green valley with the impressive Ausangate mountain towering in the distance. You will experience first hand how locals live in the mountains and even have a chance to speak with them. As you get closer to the Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the coloured minerals that formed the painted hills. Your guide will explain what makes up the existence of the “Rainbow Mountain”, and finally with one last push you will hike up to a vantage point that gives you a 360 degree view of the beautiful landscape that makes up this sacred land in Cusco – Perú.

I was a bir paranoid as most travellers i met mentioned how they suffered the altitude while hiking up the Rainbow Mountain. I guess i was fortunate enough to have a guide like Richard who was super enthusiastic and made it easier by having frequent stops and preparing me for the trek. The view from the top is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend hikers to go a bit further and hike down the red valley.
