What To Expect
Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain
Your adventure begins in the quiet predawn hours, with a 4:30 AM pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Nestle into our private van for the journey ahead, a scenic 3-hour drive through the enchanting South Valley, lit by the first light of dawn. Your destination: a welcoming Andean breakfast in Cusipata. This first meal, rich in local flavors, is not just nourishment but a vibrant introduction to the day's explorations, setting a perfect tone for the adventure that awaits.
With the morning sun rising, we arrive at the trailhead of the stunning Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain. A 40-minute hike on this less-trodden path unveils a breathtaking panorama of naturally colored mountains, a spectacle of hues that dance under the sunlight. As you wander through this magnificent landscape, our expert guide uncovers the geological and cultural secrets of these vibrant peaks, revered in Andean traditions. For those seeking an extra dash of adventure, an optional trek to the Stone Forest of Palccoyo beckons. This short journey leads you through astonishing rock formations, set against the vivid colors of the mountains and the expansive Andean sky.

5.00We used this agency for a customized tour to the colorful mountain of Palccoyo for my family departing from Sicuani and arriving in Cusco. The communication via email from Italy before the trip was very good and Juve met our every request. The tour was organized perfectly, the vehicle was large and comfortable, the guide Rene was very helpful and patient and left us all the time we needed to get to the top of the mountain calmly. The view was spectacular and the effort to get to the top was absolutely worth it. On the way back to Cusco we optimized the day by stopping at an Inca bridge, for lunch in a buffet restaurant and finally at the cañón de los espejos turquesas, another natural jewel of this area, still little known but truly spectacular. We were really satisfied with this agency and will definitely use them again when we return to Cusco.

5.00The place is truly sublime. Palccoyo the other rainbow mountain has nothing to envy to Vinicunca! The mountain itself is perhaps a little less spectacular, but the surrounding site is one o the most beautiful creations of nature that I have ever seen in my life. The road is a little winding and turbulent but it is well worth it. The hike itself to reach the summit is splendid, in the colorful mountains, and not too difficult. Would recommend it to my friends!
Strongly recommend to anyone

5.00An extremely well organised tour to rainbow mountains. We got a breifing of the tour by Juve a couple of days before departure. His english is very fluent and was very friendly, experienced and professional. We got picked up on time. Was a 3 hour journey to our camp site. The food was over and above our expecations. The cook and his helper did an amazing job with breakfast and lunch. Juve was very patient with us and allowed us to walk up at our own pace as the altitude can really affect you. He carried an oxygen tank just in case which is great. It was an excellent tour and strongly recommend it to anyone.
Well equipped and friendly tour guide
