The Rainbow Mountains in Peru
The Rainbow Mountains in Peru are quickly being added to nearly everyone's bucket list! The Rainbow Mountains are only a few hours drive from Cusco, making them an awesome daytrip before or after your visit to Machu Picchu. The most well-known mountain to visit within the Rainbow Mountains is Vinicunca, which was the first colorful landscape to be open to the public as a tourist attraction. In recent years, Vinicunca has become overrun with tourists who flock to one specific spot to get one iconic photo before the next visitor takes their turn. To avoid this mayhem, we decided to visit Palccoyo which is a part of the Rainbow Mountains that was opened to tourists in 2018 and is much less visited (so far). We are so glad we made the choice to visit Palccoyo instead of Vinicunca because we only had to share the area with a couple of other tourists!
It was so easy to arrange a day tour to the Rainbow Mountains from Cusco. We used our friends at Peruvian Paths and Adventures to hook us up with a tour as we weren't too sure how to get to the Rainbow Mountains or what it's like to visit this iconic mountain range. We were also a bit skeptical about if the Rainbow Mountains are worth visiting, but we were happy to discover that they are in fact definitely worth the day trip, especially because they are so close to Cusco!
If you are planning a trip to Peru, you are most definitely including a trip to Macchu Picchu in your schedule, which means you will be in Cusco! Whether you take the Inca Rail Train ride to Machu Picchu or if you brave the Inca Trail or Salkantay Trail like we did, you will want to have a couple of days in the Cusco area to adapt to the elevation. Going to the Rainbow Mountains is an awesome way to spend a day getting used to Cusco's high altitude!
