Hello dear readers, I going to write about the incredible colorful mountain, the rainbow mountain ,also called Montana of the 7 Colors, is located in the Andes, in the region of Cusco, Peru. Read more on our blog!
But what makes the mountain of the seven colors turn so many different colors into this colorful desert? It is because of the minerals present in it, which give all these colors. The mountains look like they’ve been painted yellow, green, red and purple, but they look a little more natural in person.
When it began to melt, the water mixed with minerals in the soil, turning the earth in various colors to Rainbow Mountain. The red areas are due to mixtures of rust, the yellow ones are due to iron sulfide, the purples are of oxidized limonite, and the greens come from chlorite.
To get to the trail, it is a three hour trip from Cusco, to keep an eye on you, you need to walk about six miles. The journey is quite challenging, so it is not recommended for beginners. But there are some things you should know before heading off to colorful turkey mountains.
Rainbow Mountain is a slab of fickle, pink and green colors, and ash and yellow, forming a rainbow is part of a whole stretch of colorful mountains, in shades of pink and blonde. The climax of the walk of the Rainbow Mountain Peru is a ridge that dominates the entire length, throughout its spectacle.
The mountain itself is incredible, and it’s easy to see where the name Rainbow Mountain comes from, as you can see from my photos on the blog . It is important to note that the weather makes a big difference in your experience there. It is best to plan your trip when it is unlikely to be rain or snow because it will make walking difficult and colors will get duller, as a blogger has experienced.
At the same time, super sunny days or taking pictures around noon will probably also wash your photos due to excess light, and the best time to visit Vinicunca is either morning or evening, be it just after sunrise or just before sunset.

When we are visiting a city like Cusco is easy to feel us hadn´t have enough time to know the famous places or we didn’t get the most of the less popular and fancy attractions of the city, this causes that we want to stay or we’re going back in thoughts. It’s almost unavoidable!
It’s the way how the city can surprises you showing a new alternative for travelers who want to enjoy the nature on landscapes such as at the bottom of a mountain at 4,200 m.a.s.l. where besides relaxing us and fell as one with the nature we can do activities like stand up paddling.
The Lake Humantay is located in the Anta province, a region of Cusco that has become very popular because of its interesting new attractions such as the Condor canyon in Chonta.
To get to the lake you have to take a bus towards the charming village of Mollepata passing through the pampas of Anta and the Limatambo village, known by its avocado (guacamole) production, arriving to the village of Mollepata we recommend have breakfast and do a quick shopping of basic necessities, since this is the last place where we can find a supply store.
In Mollepata we will have to take another bus to get to the village of Soraypampa in a stretch of road of 2 hours. There we will start the walking up hill to the lake. The path is the same when we are going to the Salkantay snowpeak, but taking a detour in the middle of the way to get to the lake.
The trek is a bit hard due to the height, remember that we will be at above 4,000 m.a.s.l., reason why we recommend staying in Cusco at least for 1 day; we promise that when you stay at the bottom of the Humantay peak you won’t be disappointed, quite the opposite you will realize that has really worth it.
According to residents of the region, the mountain was covered by ice and snow from a glacial that melted a few years ago due to global warming. With that, it ended up revealing the Rainbow Mountain which is now one of the main sights of Cusco.
Vinicunca’s colors are a reaction of various minerals to water and oxygen, which was not the case when they were protected by the glacial. Agencies usually start their tours from Cusco between 4:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. in the morning and return later in the afternoon. We booked a day of our script in Cusco to visit the Rainbow Mountain. As the tour lasts all day and it is not possible to reconcile with any other activity. Because at the end of the day you are very tired and just want to know how to relax!
