About this experience

For some this can take away a lot from the experience, especially if what you are looking for is a particular connection with the environment, experiencing the immensity of nature and how small we humans are. In this sense, Palcoyo offers a beautiful isolation that is difficult to obtain in Vinicunca. So if what you want is more silence and fewer people around you, go for Palcoyo.
