A Trek Through the Rainbow Mountain

If you’re looking to fall off the tourist map, to rediscover yourself and to reconnect to the natural world on high mountain passes, then allow yourself to start dreaming about a trek to Peru’s Rainbow Mountain. The five day Ausangate trail that takes you there (known locally as Vinicunca) is as remote as it is mysterious, and is dotted with small Quechua communities that, if you pay careful attention, just might teach you some of the most important lessons in life.
