Rainbow Mountain Tour Full Day
OVERVIEW
The Rainbow Mountain full-day tour is a popular excursion in the Cusco region of Peru. Typically starting early in the morning, the tour lasts for around 10 hours, encompassing transportation to and from your hotel.
Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca, is a stunning natural formation boasting a striking array of colors, including vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Situated in the Andes at an altitude exceeding 5,000 meters above sea level, the trek to the summit of Rainbow Mountain takes approximately 2-3 hours and can be challenging due to the high altitude and steep terrain.
Overall, the Rainbow Mountain full-day tour offers a fantastic opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the Cusco region while also getting some exercise. It’s essential to note that the high altitude may pose challenges for some individuals, so acclimatization to the altitude for a few days beforehand is advisable. Additionally, be sure to bring warm clothing, sunscreen, and ample water to stay hydrated during the trek.
