Rainbow Mountain Vinicuca

Kari_B, Mar 2026

This was an AWESOME experience! When you reach the top of the mountain the view is spectacular. There was a lot of apprehension for us with this excursion because of the elevation of almost 17,000 feet above sea level and the potential for altitude sickness. It would have been helpful for us to know ahead of time that a motorcycle ride or a horseback ride is available, for extra money, to go about 200 meters from the top. Walking the 200 meters was much more doable. The key is to make sure you acclimate slowly before you go and take it as slowly as you need going up to the mountain. It is definitely worth the trek!
