šŸ”ļø Rainbow Mountain + Red Valley Tour – All-Inclusive Andean Adventure

Discover two natural wonders in a single day with our Rainbow Mountain Red Valley tour, an experience that will take you to explore the best of the Peruvian Andes. Vinicunca, famous for its natural multicolored stripes, is one of the most iconic landscapes in Peru. Very close by lies the impressive Red Valley, a surreal place where the mountains are painted in reddish tones that seem taken from another planet.

During the hike on the Rainbow Mountain Red Valley tour, you will cross high-altitude valleys surrounded by snow-capped peaks, see llamas and alpacas roaming freely, and meet Andean communities that keep their ancestral traditions alive. At over 5,000 meters above sea level, this experience combines adventure, extreme nature, and a deep connection with the Andes of Peru.
