Peru Red Mountain near Lake Langui Lago
The area is known as one of the other "Rainbow Mountains", this is by far the longest drive from Cusco at over 5 hours, but well worth it! Nearly no tourists. The structures here along the mountain range are insane and the surrounding mountains offer a stark color spectacle, predominantly in red-green contrast.
Photography Tips
Use a midrange lens like a 24-70mm.
Travel Information
Attention! Caution! Currently, you have to park quite far away, because the road is not passable up to the very few parking pockets by a landslide. Until a new section is replaced here, will certainly take a long time and above you have no turning option! The hike along the escarpment is not to be underestimated and should under no circumstances be done in bad weather! Take special care of yourself here!
