Best Time to Visit Rainbow Mountain
If you will visit the rainbow mountain in the rainy season, which it is from November to March, you have a high probability of not seeing it in all its splendour.
Consider doing the rainbow mountain tour in Peru as the last activity to do so, as it requires a lot of physical effort and must be acclimatized. But in this season Cusco has many tourist attractions to visit, it also has adventure activities like Sky Biking, Zip Line, ATVs, etc.
The best time to visit is June-August. The skies will be blue, the temperature is comfortable and the terrain is perfect. Just know it’s also the most crowded time of year! This is also Peru’s winter season, but it’s very similar to California’s winter.
How Long Is The Rainbow Mountain Hike?
This time can also vary depending on your hiking ability.
Note: Altitude sickness effects everyone differently. You may be super fit, but still struggle with the lack of oxygen. You will see one incredibly ambitious show off who go up and down the mountain 2 or 3 times in the time it take you to make one full trek. The point is, your trek experience will vary based on your adjustment to the altitude.
