Rainbow mountain

Rainbow mountain, known as Apu winicunca by the peruvians, is one of their sacred mountain and one of most beautiful place we have visited. The hike to the top was no joke, we started in 4000m and went up to 5200m!!! The weather is constantly changing, from sunny and warm that you asked to yourself, why to carry so many clothes?, to really cold with wind, snow and hail!

It was tough, especially after 4 days of hiking (100km in total), our feet where tired. Luckily Iris did not had that many problems with her problem foot. We did had huge problems with the altitude. Big headache, dizzy.. We chew coca leaves all the time and sniffed some kind of flower liquid to open our lungs. (haha now it sounds like we have been using drugs, but don't worry)

We arrived back home at 7 and are now ready to drink some beers and watch the match Peru - New Zealand!Leggi altro
