Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Tidlig morgen Afrejse fra Cusco Dit eventyr begynder tidligt, da vi forlader Cusco omkring 4:00 om morgenen i vores turisttransport. Mens vi kører syd gennem de andiske højland, vil du være vidne til det første dagslys over rolige landsbyer og bjerglandskaber. Efter ca. 1,5 timers kørsel stopper vi for en traditionel morgenmad på en lokal restaurant, hvilket giver dig et øjeblik til at slappe af og brænde op før vandreturen.
Efter morgenmaden fortsætter vi vores rejse til Palccoyo trailhead, der ligger på en højde på ca. 4.800 meter. Her begynder vi en kort og nem vandretur gennem farverige, rullende landskaber. Sporet er omkring 1,5 kilometer (ca. 40 minutter) og følger en gradvis skråning, hvilket gør det tilgængeligt for de fleste fitness niveauer. Undervejs vil vi være omgivet af spektakulær udsigt over de tre Palccoyo Rainbow Mountains, der hver især viser naturlige mineralfarver i levende røde, grønne, gule og appelsiner. I modsætning til den mere overfyldte Vinicunca sti, Palccoyo tilbyder en fredelig og mindre turistmæssig oplevelse. På stiens højeste punkt, omkring 4.900 meter, vil vi stoppe for at nyde den betagende panoramaudsigt over Andesbjergene. På klare dage, kan du endda se lamaer græsser i det fjerne.
Besøg i Stenskogen (frivilligt) Vi fortsætter vores udforskning til den nærliggende sten skov, et surrealistisk landskab af høje klippeformationer skulptureret af århundreder af vind og erosion. Disse unikke geologiske strukturer ligner tårne, dyr eller gamle templer, der vækker fantasi og undren. Mens du udforsker, vil din guide dele indsigter i lokale myter og historier forbundet med stenene. Vi vil også nå et andet synspunkt, der tilbyder et fantastisk perspektiv på Ausangate Glacier, den højeste top i Cusco-regionen, der står majestætisk i afstand.
Efter at have taget udsigten og nydt tiden i Stone Forest, vender vi tilbage via samme sti til vores køretøj. Nedstigningen er nemmere og giver tid til at reflektere over de fantastiske naturlige seværdigheder, du har oplevet. På vej tilbage til Cusco vil vi stoppe i en lokal landsby for at nyde en fyldig andisk frokost, der indeholder regionale retter lavet med friske lokale ingredienser som supper, kartofler, gryder og grøntsager. Vi forventer at ankomme tilbage til Cusco omkring 16:00, fuldender en dag fuld af levende landskaber, frisk bjergluft, og en dyb forbindelse til det andiske landskab.

If you have a family or don't want to walk forever this is the way to see Rainbow Mountain. The hardest parts of this journey have to be the early wake up time, the difficulty sleeping in the van and of course the walk at high elevation. There are a few inclines on this path which are even more difficult to manage given the thin, cold air. There are no other methods to scale the path other than your feet so keep that in mind. The entrance fee is very cheap about 15 sole per person. Joel did a great job at motivating us during the climb and making sure we stayed on track during our breakfast and lunch stops. Make sure you pack more water and snacks than you think.
Very friendly staff and an amazing experience! One of the best things I did in Peru. Love the quiet environment. Beautiful and comfortable drive as well. My family did great after 3 days of acclimating to the altitude
1 hike (easy with a short steep climb) will give you an open area wide view of 3 “rainbow”s and a majestic view of Ausangate. We’re lucky to get a clear sunny day. Our guide Lucas was helpful and knowledgeable, he showed us a few great vantage points for photographs. EPIC! The ride/transport of 3 hours (1way) is well worth it.
The landscape is amazing, it is like another planet! It is optional how much of the hike you do depending on how you are with the altitude, and the first rainbow mountain is very close to the parking place (although the other 2 and the stone forest are well worth the walk). We had plenty of time to see the area. The breakfast and lunch were great too. The only thing I would say is be careful with the woman taking payment for the toilets next to where the vans park as she was trying to short change people in the group - better to bring coins so you can pay exactly (this has nothing to do with the tour operator, just worth mentioning)
I did the Palcoyo rainbow mountain tour with Elisban as my guide and it was really great, I would definitely recommend! The pickup and drop off were both on time, breakfast and lunch were delicious and a lot of food, and the rainbow mountain and stone forest were incredible!! Elisban, our guide, was lovely as well, he was really informative and kept everything running smoothly. The whole day was well organised and ran very smoothly.
My husband and I really enjoyed the views of the mountains. When we arrived, we were one of the first groups there so there were no crowds. We were able to take out time hiking, taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. The hike itself is relatively flat but the altitude could be difficult for some (some people in our group were struggling a bit). The rock forest is also great to see and offers panoramic views if you are up for the extra steps. Morning pickup was smooth and communications were all done through Whatsapp. Admission fee for the mountain is not included so you'll need to bring soles to cover that. The only thing is we would have appreciated if the guide explained more. The tour felt more like walking from photo spot to photo spot. Our guide didn't provide a lot of explanations on the history or the scenery. For example, I asked what causes the colours and if it was because of specific minerals, and he just said "Yes we have a lot of different minerals that have different colours." I would have appreciated learning more about the lifestyle of the people living near the mountains, how the mountains were discovered, why they have different colors and more.
Really good trip, good value for money especially with the breakfast & lunch included. The pick up time we were given was wrong & we were stood outside for 30 minutes, not a great start to the day. It isn’t really guided, there is a guide who you can stick with or you can go off walking on your own. We were told information about Peru on the bus by our guide.
Outstanding experience. The scenery is amazing. Maybe some of the best I’ve ever seen and I’m pretty well traveled. You get 3 rainbow mountains instead of one at the original “Rainbow mountain.” Pick up was seamless and only 5 minutes past the designated time (4:05-4:15.). The breakfast stop was also the lunch stop and was a solid food choice buffet style. An “optional “ morning stop included a look at some bridges. Negligible cost and interesting. They were very safety conscious. Checking SpO2 rates, asking many questions about your experience with altitude, etc. Joel, our guide, and Luis, our driver were great guys and really good at their jobs. This is an up and coming destination and I’m happy to have been on the earlier end and support the beautiful local community. Highly recommend.
It was a wonderful ride with a lot of cool people. Our tour guide Lukas was very professional and friendly. Definitv again🙏🏾😁
Very nice experience, thanks to Ricardo who was an excellent guide who accompanied us very well throughout the day!
