Enjoy the natural colors of the impressive Rainbow Mountain hike, walking through a beautiful Andean valley, where you can interact with the local people who still keep the traditional Quechua culture alive. You'll see snow-capped peaks, herds of alpacas, glaciers and birds of prey, all within an incredibly colorful mountain range. The Rainbow Mountain hike offers opportunities to see a variety of wildlife, including flying eagles and caracara hawks. The colorful sandstone mountains in the Vinicunca area are very different from any other landscape you can visit in Peru.
