Itinerary and highlights
Our guide and transporter will pass by the hotel lobby very early to go together to the south of Cusco. You will have a breakfast included in the town of Cusipata.
Our first stop will be at the spectacular Puente Colonial de Checaupé. Built in the seventeenth century, its structure is made of lime and stone, it forms a semicircular arch, mounted on its solid walls of natural rocks, in addition to its Inca bridge that still remains.
The Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Range is the first sister of the famous mountain of the seven colors "Vinicunca" but with better accessibility. Its more than nine thousand natural hectares have a color similar to the rainbow, which gives it a joyful and at the same time mystical atmosphere. In addition, on this tour, in addition to appreciating this geological beauty, we will visit other sites that will make this trip an unforgettable experience.
At this stop, we will appreciate a curious "Stone Forest" that is made up of rocky peaks naturally formed by rain and wind.
This is our last stop. Here we will enjoy lunch. Typical Peruvian food.
After a delicious lunch we will return to Cusco - Hotel.
