After two days of high altitude hiking, we finally came up on a relatively new found Peruvian landscape called Rainbow Mountain. The hike was riddled with altitude sickness, pounding headaches, food poisoning and heavenly vistas. At times, I just could not get over how crippling a few meters of steps left me out of breath and energy. But it was worth it as the unbelievable striated color mountain finally appeared in the distance ahead of the second day. Standing over 15K feet, this world class visual experience begged to be viewed in full panoramic exhilaration. Just how this stretch of mountainous peaks attained these colors. Rainbow Mountain is a relatively new find - that is to say global climate change melted the snow that used to almost permantetly diguise this acropoliptic wonder, now leaving it exposed and in danger to new relentless travel crowds and erosion.
