Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca
It is a colorful peak in Peru that rises 5,200 masl. Located in the Ausangate mountain region of the Peruvian Andes. Those who brave the ever-changing weather conditions, high altitudes, and lack of roads are promised the view and experience of a lifetime. What makes this mountain so special is its place among a cluster of uncommonly colored summits. Some are a rich terracotta, some are lavender, and others stand out in a vibrant turquoise hue, their pigments influenced by the sediment and atmosphere of the area. But, none are quite as spectacular as Rainbow Mountain — which, as you guessed, displays a variety of colors on its slopes. To top it off, the trail to Vinicunca winds through hot springs, small villages, and shops, and offers stunning views of the Ausangate Glacier, along with plenty of opportunities for llama and alpaca sightings.
