How difficult is the Rainbow Mountain Trek?

Travel Guide

Rainbow Mountain is a moderately difficult hike to embark on. The altitude makes the hike difficult to conquer by foot – you’ll likely feel short of breath throughout the entire journey and it will seem like you’re pushing through a thick wall of air with every step that you take.

The majority of the hike takes place on flat ground. The last part of the hike involves a steep incline but the difficult “push” to the top will only take 20-30 minutes to complete.

If you do the hike by foot and decide at any point that it’s too hard, you can hire a horse to ride to the bottom of the peak.

There are also tour guides that offer oxygen, and motivation, throughout the trek so you’ll always feel supported, and safe. Take care of yourself during the hike; drink a lot of water, don’t walk too fast, and take precautions such as chewing on coca leaves throughout the journey to avoid being overcome with altitude sickness.
