Overview

Rainbow Mountain Tour (Palcoyo)

Discover the magic of Palcoyo, Cusco’s hidden gem, where nature displays its art on mountains painted in unique shades of red, orange, green and yellow. Unlike the famous Vinicunca, Palcoyo offers a quieter and more accessible experience, ideal for those who want to avoid crowds and enjoy a serene environment. The hike into the mountains is of low difficulty and is surrounded by spectacular landscapes, with panoramic views of the majestic Andes. During the tour, you will be able to admire a stone forest of intriguing natural formations and learn about the Andean culture of local communities. In addition, the pure air and silence of the mountain invite you to disconnect from everyday stress and reconnect with nature in its purest state. Palcoyo is a paradise of colors and peace, perfect for those looking for an authentic and less-traveled experience in the Peruvian Andes. Make your trip to Cusco unforgettable by visiting this natural treasure!
