Vinicunca, better known to English speakers as Rainbow Mountain, is a beautiful multicolored mountain that gets its patterns from the variance of sediment deposits that have built up over the years. Rainbow Mountain is located high up in the Andes of Peru, 5,200 meters (17,000 feet) above sea level. The colors of this gem make you want to do a double take and quick Google search to confirm that it’s even real. It’s only been on the radar for tourism for a few years, so when photos of this unique spot starting popping up, I decided we had to go whenever we made it to Peru.
