Travel for a few hours from Cusco through the rugged mountain countryside of Peru to reach the aptly named Rainbow Mountain, striped with colorful mineral deposits and located far off the beaten path. Hike with a guide to the summit for a once-in-a-lifetime wilderness adventure, or rent a horse (own expense). We are among the first groups to arrive at the famous Colored Mountain. Being early, we avoid the crowds and have the Mountain of Colors to ourselves, allowing for beautiful photos and scenic enjoyment from 5,000 m (17,000 feet).
