What is the best time to do the excursion to Rainbow Mountain?

Peru is a very large country with many different climates, for that reason it would be very difficult to define a good time to visit different places. However, we consider that the best season is from April to December. In the months of January to March the mountain is covered with snow. If you want to see one side of the mountain covered and the other side the colors? These dates are the best time.
