Destination
Palccoyo tour from Cusco: the alternative Rainbow Mountain with three colored mountains, a stone forest and an easy walk.
Palccoyo
Palccoyo offers not one but three colored mountains, plus a forest of rock formations and wide views of the Vilcanota range. The walk is short and gentle, so it is perfect for travelers who want the colors without the effort of Vinicunca.
It is also a much quieter place: here you will share the landscape with alpacas and a few local families rather than with crowds.
