Over the last week we have done 2 amazing treks in Peru - the first, a classic, 2-day hike following the Inka trail up to Machu Picchu. The views were simply stunning and what a great way to see one of the modern 'seven wonders of the world'.
Then today we have been up Rainbow Mountain (5,036m), almost the same elevation as Everest Base Camp. Another stunning trek with wonderful weather and snow-capped mountains as our background.
Fortunately we didn't struggle too much with altitude sickness, although had a bit of a headache when we finished. Generally small distances in length but throw in the elevation and both hikes were challenging.
Once in a lifetime opportunity.
