Vinicunca, the rainbow mountain in Peru, is a pretty damn awesome place. However, I've felt conflicted about it ever since I went there. I had a genuine adventure trying to find this place. It took several days of searching and asking local alpaca herders for help. Lately I keep seeing photos of this place popping up on instagram. Part of me thinks that's really cool. But it also depresses me. I get several emails a week asking for directions to Vinicunca. And I'm conflicted about how to respond. I don't like the idea of this place becoming the next spot on the tourist circuit. Guiding companies are now offering day visits. Which makes me feel kind of awful. That takes all the magic out of it. But maybe that's just me trying to hold onto a special memory, and trying to guard a place and keep others out.

Foto yang diunggah oleh Eric melalui akun ericrhanson memperlihatkan betapa indahnya Vinicunca. Sekilas ini seperti sebuah foto yang diedit menggunakan Photoshop. Tetapi, keindahan ini benar-benar nyata di sebuah wilayah di Peru.

Eric sendiri mengaku mengetahui keberadaan pegunungan ajaib ini dari media sosial. Ia pun yakin suatu saat tempat ini akan semakin terkenal karena banyak orang mengeksposnya melalui media sosial yang sudah menjadi “makanan” masyarakat sehari-hari.
