The 7 Color Mountain (also called Vinicunca or simply ‘Rainbow’) is one of Peru’s new and best attractions. Located more than 100 kilometers from the city of Cusco, on an altitudinal summit located at 5,200 meters above sea level (m.s.n.m.).
It is a mountainous formation dyed in various shades by the complex combination of minerals. The slopes and summit are tinged with various shades including red, purple, green, yellow, pink and other variations. This tourist attraction was surrounded by ice not many years ago. Since 2016, this place receives hundreds of visitors a day becoming, along with Machu Picchu, one of the most visited places in Cusco-Perú.
