Pallay Punchu tour from Cusco: the jagged mountain of colored peaks in Layo, a new and unspoiled hiking route.
Pallay Punchu
Pallay Punchu means "woven poncho" in Quechua, and its jagged peaks of red, green and ochre stripes really look like a traditional Andean textile. It is located in Layo, in the province of Canas, next to the beautiful Langui-Layo lagoon.
Opened to visitors only recently, it is one of the most spectacular and least visited mountains in Cusco.
