[Peru] A benefit of global warming!? The spectacular Rainbow Mountain suddenly appears

Rainbow Mountain (official name: Vinicunca) is located on the outskirts of Cusco, Peru. This was originally a snowy mountain that was covered with snow all year round. In recent years, the snow has melted due to global warming, and this spectacular spot suddenly appeared. The locals didn't know about it until recently, when the snow melted. And this place is about 5,100m above sea level. It's a world of the sky, much higher than Mount Fuji. To get to the summit, you just have to walk up a gentle slope, but the oxygen concentration is low, and every step is heartbreaking. It was an ordeal, dragging heavy feet up the mountain. But even so, it's a spectacular view that you'll want to see at least once before you die! photo on March 8th 2023 ⁠ Vinicunca, also called Montaña de Colores, is well-known as the Rainbow Mountain recently, with the altitude of 5,100 meters above sea level, located in the suberb of Cusco city, Peru. It's literally geological seven-colored mountain. It's really hard to get to the top of the mountain for at least 2 hours trekking one way because of a low oxygen level. Even though it's true, No doubt that it's a must-see and worth seeing! #tripoverseastravel #stunningview #Peru #unexploredcountry
