The rainbow mountains is a place where geology meets psychedelic colors and lines.
The beauty of the snow-peaked Andean mountains serving as a backdrop for the breathtaking views that this jaw-dropping attraction has is simply something that no one should miss out while visiting Cusco.
Located in a remote location that not long ago was covered with glaciers, the Rainbow mountain dessertic area resembles lunar landscapes inhabited by llamas, alpacas and Quechua speaking herders that have preserved their ancient pre-columbian traditions, the rainbow mountain is an excellent one or two-day destination for those who crave for the exclusive.
