Rainbow on a Mountain? 🌈🏔️ Vinicunca!

Vinicunca - also known as Rainbow Mountain, is a MUST VISIT in Peru! It is located 3-4 hours away from the city of Cusco, and is in the high mountain ranges. Vinicunca looks absolutely like a rainbow. The sand and soil goes from red to yellow, from green to purple! To get there, it is best to join a tour. Normally, you will have to get up at 4am. And then when you get there, you will have to hike for an hour. The hike is slightly strenuous, especially when you are not adapted to the high altitude of the mountains. The hike is a little steep towards the end, but generally manageable for most people. The view after getting there is amazing. There’s another viewpoint you can hike up to but it may take another 15 minutes. Have I mentioned the alpacas yet? You can spot some of them and they are really cute just hanging around the mountains!
