About this experience
The Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Day Trek is an amazing experience in the Wilcanota Mountain Range of the Andes & a great alternative. This mini trek is perfect for travelers who want to view the colorful mountains of this region without the extra effort of partaking in a full day high altitude trek. It is also a great option for those traveling with their children. Although Palccoyo is at high altitude – the trail itself is short, relatively flat & is far less crowded than Vinicunca.
The views of these striated mountains are absolutely spectacular and on clear days you can see the snow-capped peaks of Ausangate, This tour
will also incorporate a cultural stop in Checacupe where guests can walk across a traditionally created Inca bridge as well as view the interior of an artistically painted church. The Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Day Trek is an
excellent way to spend a full day in the high Andes without the extra effort!
