Rainbow Mountain (Full Day).
Enjoy the natural colors of the rarely visited Rainbow Mountain, hiking through some isolated communities, in which you may interact with the locals who are still keeping the culture alive! You’ll see snowcapped peaks, herds of llamas, glaciers and turquoise lakes, all set within an incredibly colorful mountain range. The trek is one of the quietest in the region it is likely you will not see another trekker. The trek offers a selection of wildlife including soaring condors, vicunas, bobcats and pumas. The colorful sandstone mountains in the Vinincunca area is probably the coolest thing you’ll see in Peru.
