VINICUNCA OR PALCOYO MOUNTAIN? The Ultimate Peru Destination Guide

Peru is easily the coolest country I have ever been to in my life. I have been 3 times (soon to be 4), and have seen some of the most surreal landscapes of my life. In this video I will compare and contrast Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain alongside Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain and show you guys which is better. Both are hot tourist destinations for their immense beauty, however one is more well known compared to the other. I hope you enjoy this video!

Long story short Polcoyo is way much better and underrated. I have been there checking BOTH last month. I recommend Polcoyo.

[@edmt08mora]

I have had the opportunity to go to both mountains, Vinicunca more impressive, Palcoyo the walk is much quieter but Vinicunca is just as beautiful.

[@KevinEassa]

Agreed, both are awesome destinations. Thanks for watching!

[@ianhenry4344]

So if you were only to see one, and the singles criteria which is a more spectacular view, you would choose vinicunca?

[@edmt08mora]

@@ianhenry4344 if you want a demanding hike but full of impressive landscapes, Vinicunca could be a great personal challenge. If what you want is a relaxed and short walk through mountains of colors, then Palcoyo is the option. Each one has its own!

[@MeganMarieT]

I’ve seen these mountains all over social media, but somehow this is my first time seeing aerial shots of them. Thanks for sharing!

[@KevinEassa]

of course, thanks for watching!

[@gclaborn]

Great video... thanks, Kevin! Did the 4-day Ausangate trek to Vinicunca in 2017... wish we knew about Palcoyo at the time.

[@papaknowdrone]

Thanks for sharing the information. Any recommendation on which town to stay in if I wanted to check out both mountains?

[@DrTeresaVanWoy]

This was epic! I did a video on Rainbow Mountain as well, including altitude sickness! 😳

[@BoardOfView]

Which do you think it's better considering the trip, the hiking and etc?

[@johnybravo5667]

Hi, which one has more spectacular surrounding scenary?

[@user-vd1uz3dj8l]

There is also a rainbow mtn in China.

[@KevinEassa]

I've seen photos, it looks incredible! I've only been to Macau and Hong Kong, not mainland

[@kathyrz9624]

[@KevinEassa]

Absolutely!

[@peyton_merica]

[@KevinEassa]

[@peyton_merica]

Yeah I bet. It looks amazing down there!!

[@KevinEassa]

@@peyton_merica gotta make it down! we're going first 10 days of april if ur free!

[@peyton_merica]

Kevin Eassa I’d love to make it down there but I’m only a freshman in high school and really busy in sports.

Rainbow mountain stated in Quran, Sura fatir, chapter 35, verse 27. وَمِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ جُدَدُۢ بِيضٞ وَحُمۡرٞ مُّخۡتَلِفٌ أَلۡوَٰنُهَا وَغَرَابِيبُ سُودٞ (Yusuf Ali) And in the mountains are tracts white and red, of various shades of colour, and black intense in hue. (Sahih International) And in the mountains are tracts, white and red of varying shades and [some] extremely black. Those are other version of translation. Thanks

[@mtgbooks5633]

I'm going to Peru in November and I won't be getting a horse to go up the mountain (I love hiking), however, you seemed to feel very strongly about people not getting a horse and I was just curious why.

[@Tornnnado]

This is just a guess but it might be because they're not treated very well?

[@steverubin-670]

Like from me!

[@KevinEassa]

thanks dude!

[@sevaratursunova5932]

Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky with which We bring forth fruits of different colours? And in the mountains are streaks of varying shades of white, red, and raven black; Surah Fatir, 27 ayah
