God's Overturned Palette | Rainbow Mountain, Peru

| Rainbow Mountain, Peru. Peru really has great potential. . Today I’m going to share with you a travel guide to Peru, a mysterious South American country. It’s really worth a visit! 📍Machu Picchu The ruins of the ancient city of the ancient Inca Empire in southern Peru are the most famous tourist attraction in Peru. In 1983, Machu Picchu was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Machu Picchu is known as the "Lost City" of the Inca Empire 📍Cusco The capital of the ancient Inca Empire, a famous ancient city in southern Peru, a tourist destination, and famous for its Inca monuments. "Cusco" means "center of the world" in Quechua 📍Lima (capital) Lima is the capital of Peru and also the largest port. Lima, located in western Peru, borders the Pacific Ocean and has little rainfall all year round. It is a world-famous "rainless city" and is foggy and humid in winter. 📍Gold Museum The Peruvian Gold Products and World Weapons Museum, referred to as the Gold Museum, is located in the Monterrico District of Lima. It was founded in 1966 and is a private collection museum. The museum's exhibits are mainly artifacts collected by the family of Miguel Mujica Gallo, an agronomist, financier and diplomat. 📍Old Huanuco City Old Huanuco City was built by Spanish colonists near the ancient Inca Empire city of Unuqui. It is one of the oldest Spanish cities in Latin America. Old Huanuco is an Indian city. As a relic of the Inca Empire in central Peru, it was abandoned when Spanish colonists invaded. 📍Rainbow Mountain Located in the Andes Mountains in Peru, South America, with an altitude of about 5,200 meters, it is a colorful and textured mountain known as "God's Palette". Food experience⟧ 🐟 Ceviche: Peru’s national dish, but for people from other countries, this combination is still a bit strange 🐭 Grilled guinea pig: Although it sounds a bit strange, it is a traditional Peruvian delicacy, with a crispy skin and tender meat 🔥 In addition, there are pisco sours, piranha dishes, pandanus fruit cakes and other exotic foods ⌛️ Travel season From May to September, the weather is relatively dry during this period, which is conducive to mountaineering and viewing the beauty of Rainbow Mountain. 🧗Mountain climbing method Horse riding: If you have severe altitude sickness, you can choose to ride a horse up the mountain. You need to climb the steep slope to the top by yourself; Hiking: The climbing distance is long, and you need to have enough physical strength and mental preparation. 💡Notes Bring water, food, oxygen tanks, warm clothes, and anti-altitude sickness medicine; The color of Rainbow Mountain is greatly affected by the weather, so it is recommended to go there on a sunny day. Pay attention to sun protection and bring a sun hat and sunglasses; You need to pay Sol cash to rent a horse on site, so you need to prepare it in advance.
