Itinerary

Stop At: Cordillera del Arcoiris Palccoyo, 08235, Peru
The Palccoyo rainbow mountain tour is ideal for anyone hoping to see the famous rainbow coloured mountains, but not wanting to trek for hours. This tour is suitable for all fitness levels. During this tour you will see 3 different coloured mountains. On your way there you will be able to see alpacas and llamas in their natural habitat.
We will pick you up very early from your Cusco hotel at around 4:00am. The drive to Palccoyo is approximately 3.5 hours until we make the first stop in Combapata. When we reach the Palcoyo pass, we will walk uphill for approximately 50 minutes. (5000m/16,400ft).
Here you will have spectacular panoramic views of three Rainbow Mountain Palcoyo peaks as well as the highest mountain in the Cusco region (Ausangate). We will spend about an hour here taking pictures, and enjoying the stunning view. After this, we will make our way back to our private transportation to head to Checacupe where we will visit its stunning colonial Bridge, (we will spend about 20 minutes here to take pictures and explore the area). After this, we will head to Pitumarca where we will enjoy a delicious lunch made by locals. We will then take our private transportation back to Cusco (approximately 2.5-hour drive). We will be back to Cusco at around 4:00 pm.
It is important to mention that the route to go to Palccoyo is new, therefore the roads can be very bumpy for about an hour each way as the government has not paved them yet.
Duration: 3 hours
