Review & FAQ:
Hidden away in the heart of the Peruvian Andes, Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain was only discovered in 2015, but it quickly became one of the country's most popular tourist attractions. Its multi-colored stripes are truly wondrous to behold, particularly on sunny days, but it's best to join a tour or hire a guide; the hike to the summit only takes a couple hours, but the high altitude can cause problem for even the fittest hikers. Horse rides are available up and down the mountain for a fee, and adrenaline seekers can also rent mountain bikes.
