Rainbow Mountain

This amazing mountain formation was just opened to visit for local people 3 years ago. Since 1 year it's possible to visit them for tourists too. We did a one day trip, which started again quite early in the morning at 3.30 am! (For some reason we are getting used to it!)

It was just wonderful! After an 8km hike (ok, Alex decided to do most of the way on the back of a mula) we finally arrived at the top of the mountain on 5100m above sea level. While hiking or riding we enjoyed the beautiful landscape with adobe style houses, herds of llamas & alpacas and had a great view to the Ausangate Glacier (6385m above sea level), the highest mountain in the Cusco region. The pictures are speaking for themselves.もっと詳しく
