A spectacular view beyond your imagination awaits! Rainbow Mountain🏔️

Honestly, it was really tough, but I'm glad I went!!!

Because the altitude is over 5,200 meters, advance preparation is very important!

⛰️Location: Vinicunca
Day trip from Cusco is OK! Departure is at 4am🥱🚐

🚐We recommend joining a tour!

・You can make a reservation the day before on-site (there are many in the city of Cusco)
・A one-day tour costs about 60-90 soles (about 2,500-3,500 yen)

🥶The altitude is a whopping 5,200m!

・Measures against altitude sickness are essential! It's best to plan your trip for the second half of your trip
・Walk at a slow pace! If you think it's impossible, ride a horse 🐴 (paid)

🧤Clothing & things to bring
・Cold in the morning → Strong sunshine in the afternoon → Might rain on the way back ☔
Clothes that can handle all weather conditions are recommended
・Recommended: Short sleeves + Thermal innerwear + Knit + Down + Rain jacket + Gloves + Hat
・Essential items: Gloves, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, water, cash (Toilets are paid, and you will need them when riding a horse, so bring plenty of them ◎)
※Don't forget gloves, as you will get mild frostbite if you don't have them 🧤

🚶➡️Walking distance & time
・About 1.5 to 2 hours one way (depending on your physical condition and altitude)

⛰️Best season
・May to September (dry season) is recommended! There is less rain, so the chances of seeing colorful mountains are higher!
