During the journey we can appreciate the flora and fauna typical of the Andes such as vizcachas, eagles, lamas, alpacas, among others, such as the deer and puma that are rarely seen. Also on the way we will enjoy wonderful views as the mountains surrounding the road change color as we move until finally hit the Rainbow Mountain.
