Pallay Punchu Full Day

It's a spectacular rock formation with colorful layers that resembles a giant traditional textile ("punchu" means poncho in Quechua). It's a less crowded alternative to the classic Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca).

It's a moderate walk of about 1 hour each way, at around 4,700 m (15,420 ft) above sea level. Being well acclimatized in Cusco beforehand is essential.

Around 4:00 am. The drive is long (about 4 hours), with a stop for breakfast along the way. We return to Cusco in the evening.
