Itinerary and highlights
The Alternative Rainbow mountain of Palcoyo is one of the best options for those who do not like to walk much. not only because the walk is shorter but because we will see more than 3 Mountains of Colors, walking only 30 to 45 minutes. Another advantage that this attraction has is that it is little visited, it is not crowded as in Vinicunca Mountain.
In addition, this route has additional attractions, which are the great views of the Andes mountain range and the Ausangate Mountain as well as a forest of naturally formed stones for thousands of years. Being short the walk, compared to the classic mountain, in this place there are no horses to be rented.
