Thoughts on Rainbow Mountain

Published on Nov, 2024

Gorky and Marko were lovely guides to Rainbow Mountain. We were fortunate to have a clear morning on our approach to the summit. It was a humbling experience to gain insight into a day of the lives of the locals, see the alpacas and the magnificence that is Rainbow Mountain. Highly recommended!
