Vinicunca, commonly
known as the Rainbow Mountains, is the perfect example of natural wonder. The
seven-colored mountain was concealed under thick ice layers for a long time.
With a rise in the adjacent atmospheric temperature, the snow gradually melted.
The thawing of the snow revealed the mountains. The variety of colors is a
result of the mineral deposits in stripes creating rainbow coloring. The
Mystique Mountains lie in a remote region of Ausengate in Peru. It’s a few
hours’ drive from Cusco. The mountain is worth hiking, and you must go there
for the grand experience.

some time in Nature’s wildness, far from the crowd of travelers, the Rainbow
Mountain Peru Tour is the best option. The place is less crowded than many
other tourist spots, especially during the early morning time.
2. Opt for a leisure tour: If you avail the one
night two days Rainbow
Mountain Peru Tour of popular travel agencies like Photo Tours Peru, you
will have a relaxed journey. The hike has its difficulty level. So taking more
time will give you sufficient rest to enjoy the trip.
3. Watch the animals: Apart from the scenic
beauty of the mountains, you will also see the herds of animals grazing there.
The locals take them out for grazing. You will see lots of llamas, sheep, and
alpacas walking back to their resting points.

leader and the porters. The folk stories tell so much about life in the
mountains. The more you get to know, the more you will fall in love with the
Andean beauty.

be among the locals in their natural surroundings. Knowing their tradition and
culture is something that will intrigue you. Exchange thoughts and knowledge to

chicken cordon bleu and steamed veggies. You can drink the hot chocolates, tea,
or coffee at any time.

the tourism, the locals will also get a chance to earn. So you will be
