Highlights
Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca, is a geological treasure located just 170 kilometers southwest of Cusco, in the heart of the longest mountain range on the planet, the Peruvian Andes. This place, which seems to have been painted by nature itself, offers an explosion of colors that challenges the imagination and immerses us in an almost artistic beauty. The road to Vinicunca is a trek that lasts between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the pace of the walk. For about 12 kilometers (round trip), we crossed impressive landscapes, observing the life of local shepherds and native fauna, such as llamas and alpacas.

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.
