How difficult is the Rainbow Mountain full-day trek?

There are two aspects that affect the difficulty of this day hike: the altitude and the steep uphill climb. The trek starts at an altitude of 4,650 meters (15,256 feet) and you will hike for 1.5 hours up to Vinicunca Pass, which is the classic viewpoint of the colourful Rainbow Mountain, located at 5,040 meters (16,535 feet). The hike is not long, but it involves a very steep, uphill climb with an elevation gain of approximately 400 meters (1,312 feet). This can be very demanding. Of course, some might find the return trip down even more challenging! Steep inclines can be very hard on the knees. Please make sure you are well acclimatized before beginning the hike. We also recommend using hiking poles, which improve posture, making hikers more upright as they walk, and this can help with breathing.
