Tips for Traveling With Kids



Rainbow Mountain in Peru is one of the images we see most often when researching what to see in Peru. Of course, Machu Picchu is Peru's premier brand image and we can guarantee that there is much more to see in Peru and that Rainbow Mountain is undoubtedly one of the attractions you will not want to miss.

Rainbow Mountain's popularity turns out to be a curious factor and undoubtedly a sign of modern times and the ease with which the image spreads across the world. It was only a few years ago that a photograph on Instagram went viral and since then the desire to know this natural charm has spread throughout the world and more and more visitors want to know it.

Vinicunca


If it's known around the world for Rainbow Mountain, this wonder of nature has long been known to locals, but not as Rainbow Mountain, but as Vinicunca, its real name.

Rainbow Mountain

The reason for being known as Rainbow Mountain all over the world is due to the fact that it has 7 colors, which are due to the different mineral constitution of the mountain and which gives it a unique and magnificent look.

How to visit Rainbow Mountain?


As a matter of fact, it is not enough to land in Lima and take a bus to visit Rainbow Mountain. In fact, one thing you will find in Peru is that in order to visit many of its main attractions, you have to do your planning and organization.

To get started, to visit Rainbow Mountain, you have to get to Cusco, from where the vast majority of sightseeing tours to Rainbow Mountain depart. Most likely your entry into Peru will be in Lima via the Lima International Airport and we advise you to take a few days to see Lima (see here our post on 10 reasons why you should visit Lima).

Lima

Don't worry, though, you won't have to fly or bus to Cusco just to visit Rainbow Mountain. Most likely, if you are going on holiday to Peru, the main objective of your holiday will be to visit Machu Picchu and Cusco will probably be your point of arrival in the Andes and probably the place where you will make your base to explore not only Machu Picchu, as well as the entire Sacred Valley, and also visit Rainbow Mountain. Regarding the location of your base when landing in Cusco, be sure to read our article Cusco or Ollantaytambo, which is the best location to make your base before visiting Machu Picchu.

But even in Cusco, it will not be enough to go to Rainbow Mountain, as it is about 140 kilometers from Cusco, and in the middle of the Andes, this is a trip of more then three hours in each direction, so be prepared that it will be a very long day, as more than 7 hours of your day will be spent on the round trip, but despite being long hours, you will undoubtedly have landscapes that will not cease to amaze you as you travel the Andes.


The easiest and probably safest way to do this route is by booking a tour with a tourist agency. You can easily do it online, but what we really advise is to make this appointment right in Cusco because, believe me, the number of agencies that provide this tour is vast and you can negotiate the best options and prices that are easily available. cheaper than the ones you can get online. You will probably be afraid that you may be out of place on this trip on the day you want, but unlike Machu Picchu, where reservations are important in advance (learn more on our article - Machu Picchu, 20 things you should know when planning your visit to Machu Picchu) regarding your visit to the Rainbow, Mountain It is very easy to make your appointment even at night for the following day.

When making your appointment, either online or in person, check if there is a possibility to change the date if there is a need. And we are talking about the importance of this issue because in the Andes the climate can change frequently and there are days when it is not at all convenient to make this climb, as we will explain later, so you may have to change your climate. and you should have this arranged at the time of booking.

After making your appointment, get ready, as we mentioned earlier, it will be a very long, tiring but undoubtedly rewarding day.

When you make the appointment, you will probably arrange with the agency to pick you up from your hotel and the departure is usually very early, probably between 3am and 5am and then you will be traveling for more than 3 hours until the beginning of your treck.

There are several factors to keep in mind when booking your sightseeing tour, and with these factors you will also change the cost of the trip, ranging from about 100 soles (about $ 30 USD) to much higher. high. These factors will be linked to the number of passengers that will take you on your tour, the meals included, so you should ask everything before agreeing on the amount to pay.

Some tours provide the possibility to have your breakfast prepared by locals who live near Rainbow Mountain, other tours may eat your meal along the way.

When you get to your starting point, be prepared, that you will have to face a walk of about 7/8 Kms which will take about 3, 4 hours to climb but less time to descend, as is naturally understood.

It will probably be on this visit that you will be at the highest altitude throughout your trip, and the difference between the start and, if at the beginning of your route is about 4450 meters above sea level, at the end of your route will be more than 5030 meters, which will hinder your walk.

The start of the hike requires a climb that will probably leave you exhausted and scared that you might not be able to do the whole hike. However, the good news is that, after the initial climb, there will be times when the route becomes flat, which makes it much easier.


Rainbow Mountain 

In case you are in the need for some rest, along most of the route you will have places that offer the possibility to do part of the horse riding course, which can undoubtedly be a great help. The price usually starts at $ 20 but tends to fall as you progress along the route. However, you will not be able to walk on a horse on the entire route, only in the flatter areas.

What to bring up Rainbow Mountain?


- Well, as we mentioned, you have to prepare for the route and one of the fundamental questions are what to wear. And get ready so if there is something you will probably have to deal with during your hike to get to all of Rainbow Mountain it will be big changes in temperature.

- The thing we can guarantee is that it will feel cold, as Rainbow Mountain is undoubtedly a cold place and it can become very cold, so a good coat is crucial as well as a good waterproof as the possibilities to catch rain are also great. Do not forget the gloves, parasol, and hat. Although you need to take off your hat and gloves throughout your trip, the umbrella is always important to wear.

- However, as you walk, you may also feel warm from changes in temperature, tiredness, and sweat, so we recommend that you wear layers in which it is easy to take off your clothes when it is hot and you can easily put it back on. However, make sure that it is light to carry and that you can store it in your backpack, preferably not too big and heavy.

- Bring some good hiking boots that should be waterproof as you will probably also walk on muddy paths, plus the possibility of rain, as we mentioned, and it is not convenient to slip and fall on the ground, and it is not comfortable to go hiking with the feet wet. When it comes to wet feet, be sure to note that, apart from the importance of good walking boots, good walking socks, and taking an extra pair to change if necessary.

- Also, be sure to bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and lip balm, as it is essential to guard against ultraviolet rays.

- Although you eat breakfast before your walk starts, you will only eat again after the walk is over, so you should bring snacks for during the walk. Being in Peru, you will have no difficulty finding top quality chocolate and, it should be well taken, as they are a delicious source of energy for your walk. In addition to the snacks (do not overdo the weight), do not forget that you will need to drink a lot of water, and here you have to bear the weight of at least 2 liters of water for your walk.

- Something that may also help is the traditional coca leaves, so used by locals to deal with altitude sickness, can help a lot in this walk (you can learn more about preventing and dealing with altitude sickness in our post). Something that also helps a lot in dealing with altitude sickness symptoms is alcohol gel, smelling a little helps a lot in your walk.

Coca leaves

- Something that does not weigh much but it can be useful is to take toilet paper, you never know when you will need it.

- Lastly, don't forget to bring some money. Admission to the natural park costs 10 Soles, and this price is not usually included in the price you pay when booking the tour, so you will have to pay at the entrance.

When to visit Rainbow Mountain?


The climate in the area of ​​Cusco is fundamentally divided into two seasons, namely the dry season and the rainy season. The rainy season, which runs from mid-October to about mid-April, is not the best time to visit Rainbow Mountain. From mid-April until about mid-October is probably the best time to visit Rainbow Mountain. Of course, as during the rainy season you can have dry days and you can visit Rainbow Mountain, the reverse may occur, that is, in the dry season, there may be rainy days.

Rainbow Mountain 
And if hiking to the top of Rainbow Mountain can be arduous, making this muddy and the rainy path can be even more difficult, and you can reach the end of your trek just to find a fog-covered top and, seeing nothing, so always be aware of the weather forecasts and avoids going on rainy days, the same is true of snow because yes, it can and it snows on the top of Rainbow Mountain.

What we advise is, as we mentioned earlier, to mark with the possibility of changing the day in case the weather conditions are not ideal and, check with your guide if effectively the day will be ideal for the walk. Unfortunately, not all companies are 100% correct, and even though they are aware that the weather conditions will not be ideal and that you can hardly really see Rainbow Mountain, they tend to go on excursions to earn their money. money.

Cautions to Visit Rainbow Mountain


Climbing Rainbow Mountain is not easy, even for those who are used to hiking. Walking at sea level is one thing and at 5000 meters altitude, it is quite another. First and foremost, it is important to be careful about symptoms linked to Altitude Sickness (see our article on how to prevent and deal with Altitude Sickness), and you should never book your trip to Rainbow Mountain shortly after landing in Cusco. We would advise at least 3 days in Cusco before making your climb to Rainbow Mountain.

- As you start your march, you may be tempted to climb too fast or go after the pace of the group with you. Respect your body and go for your pace. If you feel tired, rest, try to breathe slowly. It is natural for you to struggle, your body will probably not be used to walking at this point, so you will need your time. If you feel the need, you already know, there is the possibility of being part of the horseback course (paid service).

- Go with a guide. We always recommend that you take this route with the help of a guide, and preferably an experienced guide, who can carry oxygen cylinders with you, who can help if you experience difficulties.

- Respect the walking paths. While it is wonderful to be able to see something as beautiful as Rainbow Mountain, and because the increase in visitors is a major factor in the development and financial sustainability of the local population, as the number of visitors increases, so does the risk of destruction of this environment, not ready to receive so many visitors. Therefore, we ask you to simply go through the routes intended for this and never leave any trash on the route. Whatever you bring should bring with you. There are no dustbins in the way, so please do not take anything that you cannot bring with you.

- The night before the treck do not drink alcohol, as well as avoid eating heavy meals. As mentioned above, take some light snacks that give you energy for walking and drink lots of water. Your day will be very tiring and you will have to wake up very early, so we recommend you go to bed early and try to sleep as many hours as possible. If you are one of those who easily fall asleep when traveling by car, be aware that it may be a good aid to sleep and rest during the trips.

- Finally, as mentioned above, when you are touring Peru, you will need to pay close attention to the sun. You will be very close to the equator line and although sometimes the overcast sky may give the feeling of the sun not causing any danger, this is totally false and there is a need to protect yourself from the harms of the sun. We recommend that you use and abuse sunscreen, as well as wearing a hat and sunglasses.

Conclusions

We have to tell you something. On the internet and, all over the touristic posts, you will find pictures of Rainbow Mountain that are adulterated, making the colors more brighter than they really are, just like this one behind. 
Rainbow Mountain not so true colors 

The truth is that the Rainbow Mountain colors are not so strong but, it is really a beautiful place to visit and if you are lucky to have a good day, that will be an experience that for sure you will love it. More than just the ending, all treck is great and, just for that, you will love the experience and the day, with reaching the end the higher point of a glorious day.

We hope our article can help you organize your trip to Rainbow Mountain. As we have mentioned, the easiest way to get there will be via Cusco, so it is important to go there. But, as Cusco will probably be on your travel plan as a must-stop before you meet Machu Picchu, we suggest you spend at least one-day visiting Rainbow Mountain. Being in the area of ​​Cusco, do not forget that it is “mandatory” to know and explore the area of ​​the Sacred Valley of the Incas (see here our article where you can find out more about the Sacred Valley of the Incas and what you can not miss).

Machu Picchu is one of the dream destinations for many people as it was for us and fortunately, we can say that we have already visited this wonderful place.

However, something that made us uneasy was the reports of crowds invading the Machu Picchu, which might even be calling into question the integrity of this treasure in the long run. Something that has tended to worsen since Machu Picchu was chosen as one of the 7 wonders of the modern world, which even captivate more  global interest.


Fortunately, the government of Peru, aware of the need to protect the wonder of the world decreed a daily limit of visitors and also a limit of 4 hours in the time of the visit that each person can remain within the space, what makes even more important for you to to acquire your entry ticket in advance, so you do not risk not entering and, you should  think and decide about the time you will want to enter (learn more in our Machu Picchu article: 20 things you should know when planning your visit).

However, even with these changes, made in the search to decrease the number of visitors, there are still a lot of people visiting Machu Picchu daily and,  there are times when you may have great difficulty in getting some quiet time during your visit, and whoever does this kind of travel, for sure wishes to have some does not want to make it always surrounded by other visitors.

Now let's be honest, it will be very difficult to be alone during your visit to Machu Picchu, but there are ways to be more alone or at least less surrounded by other visitors.

When to avoid going to Machu Picchu


Well, there are two months in which you should avoid even going to Machu Picchu, if you want to avoid crowds, it's the July and August. And the question of avoiding these months is because they are the most crowded months to visit Machu Picchu. This is due, among other reasons, to the fact that during these months academic holidays are taking place in many of the western countries, so it is used by many families to visit this destination. Of course, if you only have these months, we recommend that you go, nevertheless, you may have a chance to escape to the biggest crowds, but if you can go in months other than these, the better.

What is the best time of year to visit Machu Picchu?


In our article on: What is the best time of the year to visit Machu Picchu, we talk more about the theme, so we advise you to read to know more information before making your choice but, in a brief way, Machu Picchu will have only two wheater seasons, namely the dry season and the rainy season. The dry season runs from the middle of April until October and the rainy season runs from November to the middle of April.

If your goal is to avoid crowds, the best for you is to visit Machu Picchu in the rainy season, especially between November and the middle of April. However, when it rains in Machu Picchu, it may really rain, and spending the day in Machu Picchu with constant rainfall can make you lose some of the magic of the place and even be dangerous, especially for those who travel with children or, who have reduced mobility, because the place can get muddier and, you will walk on stones that, with the rain, become more slippery.


However, you can also pick up a few days without rain, which also occur, as well as some days when you can only catch rain for short periods of time, so you can still have a very pleasant visit. Do not forget only a question, when you buy your ticket, will do for a specific period of time on a given day, so you can not have the possibility to change your date if it rains immensely on the day of your visit.

Visiting in the dry season is more likely to result in better weather conditions during your visit but is also more likely to have larger crowds at your side. In this way, we can advise you, in addition to avoiding the months of July and August, to try to organize your trip closer to the beginning and end of the dry season, especially from the middle of April, May, and September, especially the second fortnight, and the month of October.

In these months, in addition to being more likely to avoid crowds, you are even more likely to catch up on good weather, and even if you can catch rainfall, chances are it will be small rainy moments that will not disturb your visit.

What is the best time of day to visit Machu Picchu?


We have also addressed this issue, so we also advise you to read our article on the best time of day to visit Machu Picchu. In order to avoid crowds, the secret is very simple, the periods during of the middle of the day are the ones to avoid so, plan your visit so that you can enter Machu Picchu at the time of opening, or closer to the end of the day.


So, since everything in Machu Picchu requires planning if you want to go in one of these periods, you will have to organize your trip to get there at one of these times, especially if you want to be one of the first visitors to Machu Picchu.

As mentioned before, you will have to buy your ticket in advance (click here to buy your ticket to Machu Picchu on the official website of the Peruvian government) and when you buy it, you should choose the entrance at 6am in the morning (when the doors open) or, more for the afternoon period, namely entering at 12 o'clock if you choose to stay near the end of the day.

Once you choose, you will need to organize yourself at the level of where to stay before your visit. Many people take the option of doing a day trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu, which, in our opinion, is extremely tiring and will lead to being in Machu Picchu in the hours of the highest flood, that is, in the middle of the day.

So, if you want to visit Machu Picchu at the beginning of the day, prepare yourself, that the enclosure opens at 6am and you will have to take the first bus that goes up from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu, which departs at 05:30. The point is that the first bus, or rather the first three buses, depart at 5:30 a.m. and each takes about 30 passengers, so to be one of the first to make this trip of about 20 minutes from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu, you will have to be in the queue well before 5:30, to secure his place. We recommend that to be sure of your place, that it is at least until 4:30 in the queue, being that in high season, it may be even earlier.



If you decide to take the route from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu on foot, you will have to reserve at least about 1h30 for the walk.

If the decision is to go by bus, we advise you to buy the bus tickets the day before, as you can learn more by reading our Machu Picchu article, 20things you should know when planning your visit.

As there is no train that will allow you to get to Aguas Calientes so early, you should make the trip to Aguas Calientes the day before and stay the night before in that locality.

If you choose to visit Machu Picchu in the afternoon, this no longer obliges you to stay in Aguas Calientes the previous day, you can stay in Cusco (which makes the day very tiring) or opt for another location, such as Ollantaytambo, for a most relaxed day (see here our article: Cusco or Ollantaytambo: What is the best place to stay before your visit to Mach Picchu and the Sacred Valley of the Incas?).


However, when booking your train schedule, please be careful about your return, as you will need to book a train that departs more at night if you do not stay in Aguas Calientes.

Conclusions


If you are reading this post, it is because you most likely dream of visiting Machu Picchu and maybe are even planning your visit. But as a result of being such a wonderful attraction, more and more people want to visit it, so from all over the world, there are people planning their visit every year.


Therefore, it is not at all possible to have Machu Picchu just for us, as we have seen in dozens of photographs, and the truth is that many photographs are taken with Machu Picchu stuffed with tourists. However, there are ways to seek to visit Machu Picchu by avoiding the floods or at least that the floods are not so great.

So, the solution is to ally the best months mentioned above, with the best times. We recommend the end of April and May, as well as the end of September and October, and also the beginning or the end of the days. However, something that is not much referred to, is that Machu Picchu is generally less populated in the late afternoon than early in the morning, especially from 4 pm, moments when we feel we had the best time on our visit to Machu Picchu.

We really hope that our ideas help you to prepare for your visit and if you are planning your trip to Machu Picchu, we always do our reservations with booking, they are our partners and its with them that we get the best deals. You can look for the best deals by clicking here, it won't cost you any money and, it helps us to support our blog.

Machu Picchu is, for many of us who love to travel, one of the "Must Do" in our life, and a large percentage of people traveling to Peru do so with the purpose of visiting what is classified as one of the new 7 wonders of the world. However, when you are planning your trip to Machu Picchu, certainty you will come across several issues on your trip organization and, one of them relates to what is the best time of day to visit Machu Picchu.

And this question becomes even more important after the changes that Peru Government recently made in the way of entry into Machu Picchu. Unlike what happened until a few years ago, the possibility of staying all day in Machu Picchu no longer exists, so when you buy your ticket you will have to make the purchase with the ticket at a specific time, with the maximum time of 4 hours of stay in this wonder of humanity. As it is convenient to buy the ticket in advance, so as not to run the risk of having all your trip planned and paid for and, when it reaches your great goal, stay in the door, when the purchase will have to decide the specific time to enter, which conditions your departure time. For example, if you think that you can buy the ticket to come in at 7am on a specific day, if you later change your mind and decide to go only in the afternoon, this will not be possible and you will be barred from entering and forced to buy a new ticket. This, of course, in the hope that there are still tickets available because in times of great tourist influx, it is likely that there may no longer be any available ticket.


Arriving at the conclusion that it is necessary to buy your ticket to Machu Picchu in advance and that when you buy will have to choose the period of the day you will visit, it becomes necessary to choose the period in which you want to visit this wonder of the World and, before making this decision, there are some factors to take into account that will be of particular importance in making your decision. Let's get down to a few.

How to avoid crowds in Machu Picchu?


This is the main issue for many people: when visiting Machu Picchu without it being full of other people. Many of us want to have the privilege of worshiping in peace this wonder of the world, but we want to do it with the minimum of people around us since any traveler with the least experience already knows that the most famous places in the world tend to be filled with other people with the same intention as we, too know and to explore. So when we decide to visit Machu Picchu, we must be aware that many more people have made that decision and many of them will be there on the same day as us.


As the government of Peru has taken precautions to try to limit the influx of tourists, there is a limit of people who can visit per day and each visitor is limited to a limit of hours, which helps to decrease the number of visitors at any time in the local.

Taking into account these changes, and not only linked to them, but also to several conditions that are also linked to the round trip, what the experience confirms is that, in order to avoid larger crowds, the advisable and visit Machu Picchu in the early hours of the day or the last, and the periods between 10:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. tend to be the most filled, so the more you can visit these periods the better.

Visiting Machu Picchu in the morning or in the afternoon?


We then have as the best options to get away from the crowds entering Machu Picchu early in the morning or else in the later period of the day and both have advantages and disadvantages so we will talk a bit about them next.

Visit Machu Picchu in the morning


Perhaps the main choice of many who want to avoid crowds pass by visiting Machu Picchu in the wee hours of the morning and this is a unique sensation in life, to see the sunrise in these Inca ruins at the top of the mountain.

Of course, you're not the only one who has the desire to be the first to come, and if so, know that you have to get up early enough to get it. The doors of Machu Picchu open at 6am and the first bus that departs from Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo) departs from it's center at 5:30 am (click here to see on google maps the exact location where you can catch the bus and, to buy the tickets, it's just near the bus stop, just follow the signs on the road).


The point is that, although the first bus leaves at 5:30 am, its capacity is reduced, and if you really want to catch the first one, you will have to arrive very early, at least an hour before departure, but you may still not be able to take the first bus. The good news is that in the morning, buses depart with a high frequency, usually every 5 minutes, and the journey takes approximately 30 minutes.

If you wish to take the trek from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu, it is free and of moderate difficulty, so it is suitable for anyone who is in good physical condition. The route is well signposted and usually takes about an hour and a half to climb, and the return journey, as it descends, tends to be quicker and easier. Usually, the most common option for those who want to do this walk is to go by bus and get off on foot.

Regarding the entrance to Machu Picchu for the first hours, although it coincides with the time when a person who makes the Inca Trail arrives, it still allows avoiding the largest crowds of tourists and enjoy this space in relative calm during the first hours, especially before tourists arriving from further afield, especially from Cusco.

The sunrise and the first rays of the sun to come will surely be an image that will not stop you from marking your life. Of course, the climate in Machu Picchu can change frequently and there can be rainy days, days with completely sun-filled and even fog. However, even so, you may have the luck of wonderful scenery and pictures, so you should always go prepared for different hypotheses and do not get too depressed if your day visiting Machu Picchu is not blessed by a clear sky. Even if it is not, you may have the opportunity to experience a wonderful experience.


Do not forget that if you choose to join the visit to Machu Picchu with the ascent to Machu Picchu or Wayna Picchu, you will have to go in the morning in order to maximize your experience.

Visit Machu Picchu in the afternoon


As we mentioned, the period between 10:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m. is the busiest, and if by 3:00 p.m. you still see a lot of people exploring the ruins, from 4:00 p.m. is probably the time of day when fewer people are in Machu Picchu, so it is also a time when you can just explore on your own and in many places you will not find anyone close to you, so it is also a wonderful time to explore the Inca ruins.


It is definitely a special time to stay in Machu Picchu at the end of the day and the chances of catching fog is much lower than in the morning so it is also a great option especially for those who do not like to wake up very early or, for those who chose not to sleep in Aguas Calientes.

Conclusions


In a quick conclusion, we can say that if you want to get away from the crowds that visit Machu Picchu daily, we recommend that you wake up early and try to be one of the first to enter or wait and prepare your visit for the end of the day, taking into account that the decision must be made before buying your ticket (which you can buy here on the official website of the Government of Peru). If you choose to take the train for your trip to Machu Picchu, please note that when you buy your ticket, you must also, buy the train ticket, so we recommend that you buy both at the same time (if you want to know more about the purchase of tickets and how to prepare your trip to Machu Picchu, we invite you to read our post about 20 Things you should know when planning your trip to Machu Picchu).

We hope that this idea will help you to prepare for your trip to Machu Picchu. If you still do not have a place to stay on your trip, we always do our reservations with booking, they are our partners and its with them that we get the best deals.
