When should I go to Rainbow Mountain?
When should I go to Rainbow Mountain? The best times to come to Rainbow Mountain throughout the year are April and May or September and October. There aren't so many tourists during these months and the climate is usually very nice with little to no rain. You might prefer to plan your trip about other events happening in the city of Cusco.
Why not to hike Rainbow mountain?
Rainbow Mountain is higher than any mountain in the Alps (the highest being Mount Blanc, 4,810 meters), and is nearly as high as Everest Base Camp (5,389 meters). A trek at 5,200 meters is no joke. People begin to feel symptoms of altitude sickness at about 2,400 meters. Rainbow Mountain is more than double that!
