Customer Reviews
An easily doable hike for people of moderate fitness levels. There are horses for those who do not want the challenge. The peak is at 5036m above sea level so be sure to acclimate before. The hike each way is just under 4km and can be muddy in places so be sure to bring appropriate clothing and footwear. There are plenty of toilets along the way for a small fee of two soles and vendors at the top selling food, drinks and even stamping passports. I will say that the colours you see online are exaggerated, but nonetheless a beautiful mountain. All in all magical experience, highly recommendable, but be sure to know your limits and be mindful of the fact that horses don’t really exist to carry humans around.
one of perus best attraction. i have never seen a mountain with so many colors. i was lazy and didn’t hike so i took a horse up and a bike down for around 70-80 soles each. worth it in my opinion. i got altitude sickness because this is about 6000 ft higher than cusco.
This was a very challenging if you’re not used to the altitude but highly rewarding hike. We were lucky to have acclimated for a few days in Cusco before doing this hike and even then, it was a bit challenging as there are a lot is stairs and steep inclines. However, it is not that daunting. You go at your pace and if you feel as though you cannot walk anymore, there was horses you can pay to ride up. Be mindful that the horses will only take to close and you will still need to climb a bit more to the tip top. Once you are done with the rainbow mountain, you have a choice go to red valley, I highly recommend doing this.
