Vinikunka – Impressive Mountain of 7 Colors and the Red Valley in Qanchis
Vinikunka, the famous Mountain of Seven Colors located in Cusipata (Cusco), is one of the most spectacular landscapes in Peru. Its multicolored slopes seem painted by nature and attract travelers from all over the world. The journey through the Red Valley offers a unique experience: mountains with intense tones that contrast with the sky and create an unforgettable setting. The path to the mountain, in addition to its natural beauty, allows visitors to appreciate snow-capped peaks, valleys, and Andean communities that enrich the visit. In short, visiting Cusco without seeing Vinikunka means missing out on an incomparable natural and cultural treasure.

Doing the route with an agency or on your own?
On your own
Doing the trek on your own may seem like an exciting adventure, but it also involves certain challenges. The lack of proper transportation, difficulties in orientation, and the time required for the journey can make the experience tedious and exhausting. Without professional planning, unforeseen events become obstacles that reduce the enjoyment of the trip. Venturing alone means carrying all the responsibility, which often turns what should be an unforgettable experience into a complicated challenge.
