Cusco is full of natural wonders, and one of the best ways to experience them is the Palccoyo tour — a seven-color mountain similar to Vinicunca that takes just 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach on foot. It’s the perfect choice if you’d rather skip a long hike: the trail is gentle, less steep and much shorter to the top. Palccoyo sits at 4,900 meters (16,076 feet) above sea level and is home to three colorful mountains. Along the way, you’ll soak up the untouched nature of the Andes and spot local plants and wildlife, framed by snowcapped peaks and valleys that make this natural attraction truly unique and unforgettable.
You can also walk through the Stone Forest, where you’ll enjoy an amazing view of the entire valley.
