Rainbow Mountain Ausangate Information
Raimbow Mountain
Rainbow mountain or locally named Vinicunca has only been on the map as a tourist attraction since 2015 when it beautiful strips of color was revealed to the world through glacial melting. At that time the route to get to see this marvel was a multi day hike through the red valley and Ausagate. It is a worthwhile hike that allows you to explore the valleys and mountains whilst also feeling accomplished when you finally reach Rainbow mountain. For this reason we also offer this traditional route to Rainbow mountain through a 5 day hike of the religion or a shortened 2 day trip along with our 1 day option if you are short on time. This 1 day option is only possible since 2017 when two local communities which are close to the rainbow mountain build tracks which lead from the towns of Pitumarca and Chuchicahuana. There have since been restaurants and shops along the way which all support the tourism of Rainbow Mountain.
