The mountains of Peru offer an absolutely unparalleled combination of natural beauty and heritage.
The Rainbow Mountain has been one of our bucket-list but nnaaahhhhhh... I failed! Sadly, I failed to complete the trek due to altitude sickness. Something that I regret doing but I wouldn't take the risk either.
The hike is difficult for a non-hiker. The altitude makes the hike difficult to conquer by foot. I felt the shortness of breath, my heart beat faster and seemed like I was pushing through a thick wall of air with every step that I took. Decided to stop and turned back!
