Description
Live a magical experience in the Peruvian Andes exploring the impressive Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca), one of the most stunning landscapes in Peru. This unforgettable trek will take you through colorful mountains, pure air, and Andean traditions that connect you with nature at its finest. It is recommended to take the tour with a local guide to enjoy it safely and learn more about the region’s culture. If you prefer, you can rent a horse, with prices ranging from 30 to 70 USD depending on the season and distance, paid directly to local community members. The weather features mild and sunny days but cold nights due to the altitude. In case of altitude sickness, stay hydrated, rest, avoid alcohol, and follow your guide’s instructions.Itinerary
