Recommendations for the rainbow mountains

Something we always consider very essential is the security of the travelers before anything else. So at Top Peru Trips we have prepared some basic. But very important recommendations for all those who are interested in traveling to the Rainbow Mountains in Peru. We want to secure for everybody a great time and memorable experiences visiting the Vinicunca Mountains Cusco. So all those adventurous travelers planning to visit Mt Vinicunca should follow our recommendations down below. As part of the trip preparation before and during  the Rainbow Mountain trek in Peru:

Our suggestions

• Travelers should get at least 2 or 3 day of acclimatization to the altitude in a high place like Cusco. Or any other higher altitude city before to travel to the Rainbow Mountains Peru.
• If  you are not a fit hiker and you have problem with the altitude. We then suggest you taking the easier option of Rainbow Mountain trip by horse. Especially for the uphill and arrive in the proximity of the Rainbow Mountain
• Due to the high altitude there is less oxygen to breath up there. So your performance on the Rainbow Mountain trek will be not what you expected. We advise you making sure that your travel company is providing the Oxygen tank during the Rainbow Mountain trek, Full Day
• If you do not like rushing and waking up too early. You have the option of taking the Rainbow Mountains Cusco 2 day. Which is easier, more relaxing and private than hiking with several hundreds of people at the same time.
• If you are not a fast hiker, we advise you to keep your own pace. In this case you should join in a small group. So the guide can take a very good care of you on your day trek to the Rainbow Mountain Peru.
• Is highly suggested to take a warm jacket with you during the hike. Because the weather changes so quickly in the high altitude and specially on the top of Rainbow Mountain gets  very cold and windy at any time.
• You should take some energizer cereal bars as your snack for the trip. Because usually there is no much appetite in the high altitude. So sometimes you do not feel like eating big meals provided by our company during the Rainbow Mountain trek.

Longer treks

• If you want to experience the true Peruvian country lifestyle, with authentic Andean people. We suggest you taking the 4 day Ausangate Rainbow Mountains . Which is one of the best trekking routes  in the Peruvian Andes.
• For Vinicunca trek via Ausangate 3 day and the full circuit 6 day Ausangate trek +Vinicunca expedition hikers need to be in good physical conditions and experienced in trekking. You need a good acclimatization to do this trek.
