@globallistictravel: Rainbow Mountain is no walk in the park, but I wasn’t leaving Peru until I saw them! 😭🦙❤️ Rainbow Mountain is about 17,000 feet above sea level! Even if you spend a couple of days acclimatizing in Cusco, the altitude can STILL hit you hard. Your body needs time to adjust, and even then, you can still experience altitude sickness at that elevation! Tips for visiting Rainbow Mountain: ✨ Drink coca tea to help with altitude symptoms. It helped me, but it’s not proven to prevent altitude sickness so don’t rely on just that! ✨ Stay in Cusco for a couple of days to start acclimatizing to the elevation (around 11,000 ft). More gradual acclimatization is even better! ✨ Bring a can of supplemental oxygen just in case, but don’t rely on it if you start feeling seriously unwell. ✨ Ride ATVs up to get there quicker and shorten the hike! ✨ Go with a tour guide! ✨ Walk slow and try not to talk too much. You need your lungs for more important things 🤣 ✨ Take deep breaths and pace yourself. ✨ Listen to your body! ✨ And last but not least, HAVE FUN! 🇵🇪❤️ Follow @globallistictravel for more travel inspiration! #foryou #peru #rainbowmountain #explorepage #animalover
