Vinicunca, also known as, Montaña de Siete Colores (Mountain of Seven Colors), takes one on a 6 mile trek up to the top at 17,060 ft. above sea level. This has become a new adventure for hikers since its discovery in 2015. Before then the mountain was covered under snow. Located in the Andes, it is a 3 hour drive from the city of Cusco. Due to its high elevation many come prepared with small oxygen tanks or with coca leaves to chew on which helps with altitude sickness.
