Let's use horses.
I'm 61 years old and I work out by running 1.5 miles two days a week to keep fit. But at altitudes above 4,000 metres, just walking was enough to lift my breath. You can get 10 minutes down from the summit in an hour on foot or 25 minutes on horseback.' 'Oh, my God!' said he, using a listening horse.
You were right.
The last 10 minutes of the climb was tough, but it was worth the effort and the view from the summit was amazing.

Thank you so much for your opinion, Masakatsu, this helps us a lot :)

Tough but excellent trip!
The tour was well organised. Carlos, the manager, gave detailed information days before the tour, including how to deal with high altitude sickness, dropping a bottle of water and a small bottle of herbal liquid for sniffing. Picking up time was punched. When arrived at the car park, I was given a walking stick. The tour guide was very good. She accompanied us to go to the top and took photos for us. Because of the high altitude sickness, I lost my appetite and felt unwell. The following-up tips from Carlos were really helpful.

Thank you so much, GUOYING ZHANG, for your comment. We're so glad we could help you enjoy your trip to Rainbow Mountain in Cusco :)
