A specially arranged visit to Peru's 'Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca Mountain', is a spectacular natural wonder known for its unique colorful mountain ranges.
The biggest feature of Rainbow Mountain is its unique color, the mountain comes in seven different colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple.
This colorful landscape is formed due to the deposition and oxidation of different minerals in the mountainous strata. The area around Rainbow Mountain also maintains a relatively pristine and undeveloped environment, so visitors to Rainbow Mountain can feel the purity and tranquility of nature.
Experience the uniqueness of the Andes through spectacular mountains, plateau lakes and canyons ~ this will be an adventure and cultural experience that you will never forget!
