Rainbow Mountain Tours

Every time of the year has a special attraction. Dry season: between April and November which is the driest season of the year you will find blue skies and the best weather to visit and enjoy the Vinicunca hike. Rainy season: between December and March, it is usually a little more cloudy, but you can find the surrounding mountains with greener and more picturesque landscapes, sometimes there may be days with a little snow that evaporates as the morning progresses, and which generates unique landscapes. Do you already have a date for your next trip?

In the regular section, the hike to the rainbow mountain takes 2 hours from the base point. There is also the possibility of renting horses from the local people and be able to climb with less physical effort.

Most of the hike up the rainbow mountain is not complicated; however, on the last stretch, the altitude and steepness makes the last half hour more challenging. If you want a tour with a friendlier and shorter hike, we invite you to see the options of Tours to Palccoyo.

Another of the main attractions of the rainbow mountain is the Red Valley. Once you have finished visiting this incredible attraction you can descend to the base by making a detour to the Red Valley. This will be an additional 1 hour hike, but totally worth it. Would you like to go to the Red Valley? Contact our consultants.
