Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain – Palccoyo Cusco

At 7:00 a.m., we will pick you up from your Cusco hotel. Then we’ll take you to Checacupe in our private transportation, which will take you via Cusco’s South Valley. It’s a little colonial settlement. A colonial chapel and a rope bridge resembling Q’eswachaka were erected by Spanish conquistadors in the town.

We’ll come to a halt here so you may use the bathrooms and, if wanted, buy some munchies. From here, we’ll take a detour up the slope to get closer to Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain’s peak. We’ll travel by several distant settlements and schools on our journey. This journey allows you to have a closer look at the undeveloped distant settlements.

We will gradually hike for 45 minutes to reach the peak once we arrive. We’ll travel through a stone forest, or bosque de piedras, on our journey. This is a one-of-a-kind sight. On a clear day, you’ll also get a closer glimpse at the enormous Ausangate Peak, which dominates Cusco’s southern skyline.

We’ll begin our descent to the car park once you’ve got your enough of the breathtaking vistas of the Ausangate Mountain range and Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain. We will drive you back to Checaupe from here. We’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant while we’re here. We will drive you back to Cusco after lunch.
