PALLAY PONCHO MOUNTAIN FULL DAY

Q: ¿Qué tan difícil es la caminata de un día completo a la Montaña de Siete Colores?

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 colorful 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.

Q: ¿Cómo puedo evitar el mal de altura en la Montaña Arcoiris?

Rainbow Mountain has a very high altitude – you will hike over 5,000 meters (16,404 feet), which is why acclimatization is very important! The best way to prepare yourself for this trekking experience is simple: spend at least 2 to 3 days at a high-altitude place like Cusco so your body gets used to the high altitude. If you have already been to a high-altitude destination before arriving in Cusco, we still recommend you spend at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recuperate from your trip, and enjoy the beautiful views of the city before your trek. Additionally, taking good care of your body helps deal with the extra pressures that altitude creates. We recommend eating healthy food, drinking lots of water, and staying away from alcohol. Chewing coca leaves and drinking coca tea can help alleviate any discomfort associated with the altitude.

Q: ¿Cuál es la mejor época del año para hacer una excursión de un día a Montaña Arcoiris?

We have two main seasons in the Andes Mountains: the rainy season (November-March) and the dry season (April-October). During the rainy, warmer season, temperatures average around 15°C (60°F) during the day and 5°C (40°F) at night. However, these temperatures may feel a lot colder to you.During the dry season, the weather is sunny and clear, with average temperatures around 20°C (70°F) during the day but much colder at night, around -3°C (26°F).
