In which country is Vinicunca Mountain, commonly known as the Rainbow Mountain?

Vinicunca Mountain, commonly known as the Rainbow Mountain, is a multicolored peak set among equally colorful hillsides and bordered by steep snow-capped peaks hidden deep in the Andes in Peru. Its name is taken from Quechua and means ‘seven color mountain.’ You will find it on your way to Ausangate, in the region of Cusco. There are 5 passes ranging between 15,000 and 17,000 feet before you can get to this mountain. There are thousands of roaming alpaca and llama in the beautifully diverse landscape that changes daily from snow-capped peaks, to neon red desert mountains, to marshy pampas. The average elevation in the Andes is about 13,000 feet (3,962 meters). The Andes are dotted with a number of depressions that separate the length of the range into several segments. The vivid mountains are the result of mineral deposits and red sandstone from over millions of years ago. Layers formed on top of one another, creating the colorful patterns of rock strata.
