What is the Rainbow Mountain hike like? Although the trail is not technically difficult, the altitude is the biggest challenge. The hike begins at over 4,000 meters and reaches 5,200 meters above sea level, so prior acclimatization is essential. It is recommended to spend at least 2 or 3 days in Cusco before the tour to avoid altitude sickness (soroche).

Trekking Tips:

  • Bring thermal clothing and a windbreaker.
  • Wear waterproof trekking shoes.
  • Don’t forget water, energy snacks, and sunscreen.
  • You can rent horses along the way if you need assistance.

When is the best time to visit?
