Highlights

Located in the Peruvian Andes in Cusco, just 5 hours from the historic center, the Rainbow Mountain is becoming the main attraction to see after or before Machu Picchu. As you can imagine, the mountain is famous for its natural, multi-colored beauty at an astonishing height of 5200 m above sea level. This rainbow appearance is created by the sediment of minerals throughout the area that gives the mountain the turquoise, lavender, golden and other colors.

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
