The Cordillera Rainbow Mountain of Palccoyo is the first sister of the famous mountain of the seven colours, "Vinicunca", but with better accessibility. It's more than nine thousand natural hectares that have a colour similar to the rainbow, which gives it a cheerful and at the same time mystical atmosphere. In addition to appreciating this geological beauty, we will also visit other sites that will make this tour an unforgettable experience.

We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at about 4:45 a.m. Then, we will drive through the beautiful South Valley to Checacupe. This is a lovely colonial town where you can stretch, grab a snack, or use the restrooms. You’ll see its historic rope bridge, colonial houses, and a 17th-century church before continuing toward Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain. Along the way, we’ll pass remote Andean villages, and your guide will share insights into local life and traditions. At the trailhead, enjoy a snack box before beginning the gentle hike to the summit. The route passes the stunning Stone Forest (Bosque de Piedras), a natural wonder of jagged rock formations. From the top, enjoy expansive views of colorful valleys and snowy peaks. Learn about Andean myths and how locals connect with nature. After exploring, we’ll descend, stop in Checacupe for lunch, and return to Cusco by 6:30 p.m.
