Be dazzled by the Vinicunca Mountain, also known as Rainbow Mountain. This amazing, full day, private adventure through the Peruvian Andes, will begin with an early morning pick up from your hotel. Your expert guide will show you breathtaking landscape along the way and take you to a natural rainbow painted across the mountain ridges, truly a once in a lifetime experience.

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.
