Embark on an adventure to the Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain, a less crowded and more accessible alternative to Vinicunca. Along the hike, you will enjoy stunning landscapes and discover the unique formations of the rock forest.
Itinerary
We leave Cusco early and head south, heading to the village of Checacupe. After a breakfast in the area, we continue to the starting point of the hike. Unlike Vinicunca, the hike to Palcoyo is shorter and more accessible, ideal for those looking for a less physically demanding experience.
The hike takes us through stunning landscapes until we reach the three colored mountains and the stone forest, a set of natural rock formations. Here, we enjoy panoramic views and have time to explore and take photographs.
After a relaxing and enriching hike, we descend and enjoy lunch en route before returning to Cusco.
Throughout the tour, our guide will provide us with information about the geology, ecology, and cultural importance of the area. We will have time to explore each lagoon, take photographs, and enjoy the natural surroundings. After the hike, we return to Pacchanta, where we can relax in the hot springs before returning to Cusco, arriving at dusk.
