About this experience

While Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca boils with thousands of tourists every day, only 20 kilometers to the south is not one, but three mountains of colors that rest in complete solitude. Of ocher and red colors, with green, blue and white stripes, the dazzling Palcoyo mountain range is visited by a few travelers a day. Reaching it only requires a smooth walk of 1 hour and without slopes, transforming it into a less demanding alternative than the long trekking to Vinicunca
