"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Rainbow MountainThis was an area unlike any where else I had ever been. The colors were beautiful. I hiked back via the Red Valley and summited a peak above the pass. It was really cool to be above 16k!

Unique views and cultural experienceAwesome hike in Peru, I'd never seen anything like it! Book your tour here while you are in Peru-- it's much cheaper than if you buy it online! Extremely helpful to acclimatize in Cusco or similar elevation town for a few days ahead of time because the elevation is very high! When you go with a guide, they have emergency oxygen just in case. Also, chewing coca leaves or coca candy helps keep headaches away. Highly recommend checking out the Red Valley while you're at Rainbow Mountain-- truly amazing and unique landscape, you just pay a man sitting next to it to gain access.

Pretty popular hike, ill try to update this a bitnice trail hike with guides an such, about a 4 mile hike round trip with 1000 ft elevation gain but is difficult due to the high elevation. i recommend traversing to the red valley also before returning to your tour group
