The Rainbow Mountain near Huaraz is a beautiful place to visit. You can do a day tour there. One recommendation I do have is that instead of walking up to the Rainbow Mountain and coming back the same way, is to walk down a different route following the Red river. Most people don't know about the alternative route and neither do the travel agencies. But if you ask around you will find one that can take you there. It's gorgeous plus there are no tourist to be seen around. Totally off the beaten track.
