Palcoyo Day Hike is a colored mountain similar to the classic Rainbow Mountain but there is not only one mountain in Palcoyo there are 3 different rainbow color mountains like ocher and red colors, with green, blue and white stripes. In Palcoyo also you will see the stone forest and local people dressed in their traditional costumes accompanied by their Llamas and Alpacas.
To start the hike to Palcoyo, we pick you up from your hotel around 4:00 to 4:30 a.m. then we’ll travel 02 and 1/2 hours on a minibus to Combapata where we will stop to buy some stuff you ned as water, snacks, etc.
Then, we continue 1 and 1/2 more hours passing by a beautiful landscape of the highland of Cusco, where you will find local people doing their daily life, to arrive in Palco (4700 mts. /15419 ft.) this is the trail head,
from here you can already see 2 of these mountains, then we will start the hiking, first, we walk approximately 40 minutes to arrive at the main viewpoint.
Once you arrive at the summit (Palcoyo 4900 mts. / 16076 Ft.) you will have free time to rest and to take your pictures, to the different mountains, also you can see a kind of forest of stone
then, we start to go back hiking downhill to arrive again in Palco where our transportation will be waiting for us to take us to have a comforting lunch,
