Today I made at trip to the so called “Rainbow Mountain” near Cusco. I guess I don’t have to explain where the name comes from. It’s also called “Vinicuna Mountain” or “Winicunca Mountain”. The mountain was just “discovered” and made accessible for tourists in 2015, so today it is not that badly organized and expensive like other popular sights in Peru. The tour started with an bus trip in the early morning from Cusco to Llama Chimpana, which is about 4.500 meters high. I never made a hike in such an altitude, so it was the first time I experienced how hard it is. It felt like I can’t breathe anymore, every single step was such a strain. I could take a horse and let me carry to the summit, but I wanted to achieve it by myself. And I made it (even I felt sick)! The view to and from the Rainbow Mountain at about 5.200 meters is literally (!) breathtaking!
