Palcoyo Mountain Tour
Palcoyo Mountain Tour
First thing in the morning at 4 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and board a minibus. From there, we'll set off to the town of Cusipata, located two and a half hours away.
Having reached Cusipata, we'll fuel up for the day ahead with a hearty breakfast before driving to Pitumarka and onwards to our destination: Palcoyo, also known as the new Rainbow Mountain.
Leaving the minibus behind, we'll embark on an hour and a half trek through the impressive mountain landscapes. The striking rainbow of colours of Palcoyo is amazing, and you'll feel as though you've travelled to another world.
We'll take the time to enjoy the new Rainbow Mountain and, of course, take a few souvenir photos—don't forget your camera!
On the way back, we'll make a 20-minute stop where you can visit the 3 bridges of Combapata by yourself. Afterwards, we'll go to a local restaurant for a delicious buffet lunch and to refuel.
We'll then return to the minibus for the journey back to hotel in Cusco, where you'll be dropped off around 6 pm.
