Rainbow Mountain Tour: Easy Route
The 7 color mountain tour is an easy access tour to the Vinicunca mountain, also called “La Montaña de Colores”, “El Cerro Colorado” and sometimes “La Montaña De Los Siete Colores”. You can try the rainbow mountain easy route.
Actually, it has been baptized with different names by our travelers who have told about the experience, emotion and above all the visual spectacle of the valleys, streams, highlands, and snow-capped mountains that complement the grandeur of the mountain of seven colors, not leaving aside the variety of fauna such as llamas, alpacas, sheep, birds and also the people whose happiness makes you feel part of their culture no matter how strange the visitors are.
For this and many other reasons, our Seven Colors Mountain Easy Route Tour was included by “National Geographic” as one of the 5 best places to visit in Peru.
