Would you like to visit another colorful mountain with fewer crowds on an off-the-beaten path? The Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain is another paradise on earth, located over 4,000 m.a.s.l. and surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes and impressive stone forests.

• Visit the Rainbow Mountain Palcoyo, a natural wonder in the south of Cusco.
• Explore a path surrounded by mountains and natural attractions.
• Get to know the local culture of the traditional villages along your journey.
• Travel with a professional tour guide for a singular perspective on the history and cultural significance of Palccoyo.

This trek has a moderate difficulty level, but it is significantly easier than the one at Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain. However, you’ll need to be fully acclimatized before committing to this activity.
