Overview

Hike the Palccoyo Mountain which is the alternative rainbow mountain route from where you will see amazing colorful landscapes.

This trek on the Palccoyo mountain is an alternative to the most popular Vinicunca mountain trek which is more busy by tourist. The view from the Palccoyo mountain is very similar to the Vinicunca but from another angle.

In this Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain with this full-day hiking excursion from Cusco you will be pick up from your hotel early in the morning and you will leave Cusco at 5am towards the Palccoyo mountain. You will stop in Mollepata one hour later where you will take a breakfast. Then you will continue for one hours and a half to Challacancha, which is the place from where you will start your trek.

The beginning of the trek in Challacancha is at 3 800 amsl and you will hike slowly for approximately one hour and half until you reach the 4250 amsl. From this high point you will be able to see the wonderful natural colors and you will understand by the beauty why the rainbow treks are so popular.

Before hiking back you will have time to take amazing pictures. Then you will walk back to the same point where you started your trek and there you will take a lunch.

Once you finish your lunch you will be driven back to Cusco where you will arrive at around 6pm.
