Itinerary and highlights
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 4:30 am. The trip to Palccoyo is approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes until we make the first stop in Combapata for breakfast. When we reach Palccoyo Pass, we will walk uphill for approximately 50 minutes. Here you will have spectacular panoramic views of three peaks of the Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain, as well as the highest mountain in the Cusco region (Ausangate). We will spend approximately an hour here enjoying the impressive view. Then we will return to our private transportation to head to Checacupe, where we will visit its impressive colonial bridge (here we will spend 30 minutes to explore the area). After this, we will have time to enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by the locals. Then we will take our private transportation back to Cusco (approximately 3 hours of travel). We will be back in Cusco around 5:00 pm and drop you off at your hotel.
