During this day to Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley is the perfect way to see some of the most beautiful parts of Cusco. Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca, is a must-see for any traveller to Cusco. The mountain gets its name from its colourful stripes, which are caused by mineral deposits in the earth. The Red Valley is another must-see located just 30 minutes from Rainbow Mountain. The valley gets its name from the red rocks that line it. It's a beautiful place to take a hike and enjoy the views.
