Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Tour

The Palcoyo Mountain Tour is known as the cousin of the famous Rainbow Mountain. Like Vinicunca, this mountain has a color similar to the rainbow.

An extraordinary geological process aligned the different strata of the earth in multicoloured layers, creating a unique effect. On this tour, you will be able to appreciate this geological wonder, as well as other destinations that will make this trip an unforgettable experience.

This mountain range is made up of three mountains of green, ochre, blue, white and yellow colors that rest in complete solitude. If you are looking for an uncrowded tour in Cusco, visiting Palcoyo is a good alternative, since this place is visited by few travelers each day.

Another advantage of visiting this majestic mountain is that the hike is very easy. Getting to Palcoyo only requires an hour of walking without any uneven ground. For this reason, this tour is presented as a less demanding and friendly option for those who are not used to long walks.

The best time to visit this destination is between April and October, when the rains have stopped and the weather is mostly sunny so you can see Palcoyo Mountain very clearly. This is one of the Tours in Cusco that you cannot miss.
