Overview

 

Rainbow Mountain

Rainbow mountain is known locally as “Vinicunca“. The name is due to its impressive coloration, which includes shades of red, green, yellow, lilac and turquoise, creating a spectacular and unique sight in the world.

The coloration of the hill is due to the presence of various minerals in the rocks, such as iron, copper and sulfur, which have oxidized over time. Cerro Arcoíris is located at an altitude of 5,200 m. and its ascent is a challenging experience. The experience is unique and rewarding, as the panoramic views of the mountain and its surroundings are breathtaking. In addition, along the way you can appreciate the life and customs of the Andean communities, which adds cultural value to the adventure.

Cerro Arcoíris has become a very popular tourist destination in recent years due to its natural beauty and uniqueness.
