Alternative Rainbow Mountain Palccoyo, Peru

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : The opening of Rainbow Mountain in Peru (known locally as Vinicunca) to tourism brought a near-immediate influx of travels to this marvel of nature in the Cusco region. It's gotten crowded though and it's still very hard to access, but there is an alternative. AB Expeditions created this fascinating drone video of another mountain called Palccoyo. It's considerably closer to Cusco (the main city of south-central Peru), and its other-worldly multicolor appearance is similar to its more famous cousin.
