From this point we will start our Trekking to the Rinbow Mountain – Vinicunca. The hike will take approximately 1 hour 45 minutes or 2 hours as we climb up to 5040m/16,535ft 

Already being at the top of the mountain, our guide will give a Information about this beautiful natural formation. 

According to some geologists from the society of geology of Peru, the mountain of Vinicunca, alongside many other mountains of the huge Cordillera of the Andes have formed from the movement of the tectonic plates which have elevated the marine sediments to the point of being converted into impressive mountains. 

On the other hand, the color presented by Vinicunca is the result of the oxidation of some minerals due to erosion, humidity and other geological factors. 

At some point in our history, the mountain was covered with blocks of ice: it was snowy. However, due to global warming and climate change, the ice disappeared and left in its place this magical landscape that demonstrates the beauty and ecological fragility of planet Earth. 

The coloring of the 7-color hill, according to the studies of the Deconcentrated Directorate of Culture of Cusco, is due to the following mineralogical composition: 

• The pink color is the red clay, fangolites (mud) and arilites (sand). 

• The Blanquecino is by quartz sandstone and marls, rich in calcium carbonate. 

• Red is composed of clays (iron) and clays belonging to the upper tertiary. 

• The green is due to the compound of phyllites and clays rich in magnesium ferro. 

• The earthy brown is a product of fanglomerate composed of rock with magnesium belonging to the Quaternary era. 

And the mustard yellow color is due to the presence of calcareous sandstones rich in sulphured minerals. 

After receiving our information and photo free time.
