Itinerary and highlights

We will collect you from your hotel at 4:00 a.m. in our private transport. The drive to Palcoyo is 3 hours 45 minutes south-east to Cusco, to the start (4,805 mt /16,030 ft). As you get closer to beginning of the hike of the Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain you will begin to see the first signs of the colored minerals that formed the painted hills of Palcoyo. From there, an easy 30-minute walk will take us to the various viewpoints to appreciate the imposing majesty of the AUSANGATE (which towers in the distance, at 6,300 meters – 20,900 feet) and the beautiful red colored hills. From the third viewpoint located at 4, 886 meters – 16,030 feet,. As you enjoy the spectacular display of natural colour and awe-inspiring beauty, our guide will provide you with a history to the formation of these eccentric colors.

Not being enough, we headed towards the STONE FOREST; an amazing formation of sedimentary rocks with capricious vertical shapes, looking like the back bony plates of dinosaurs!
we will drive down to Chulloca community for lunch, before returning to the city of Cusco, where we will take to your hotel.
