Best Hikes to Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca)

Tips

  • Absolutely worth the trip.
    The strenuous climb to over 5000m is worth it. - exhausting not because of the steep - but because of the thin air. It is advisable to take this tour only after you have acclimatized to heights between 3000 and 4000 meters for a few days. And even then, good physical fitness is more than helpful.
