Reiseverlauf
Abfahrt am frühen Morgen von Cusco Ihr Abenteuer beginnt schon früh, denn wir verlassen Cusco gegen 4:00 Uhr morgens mit unserem Reisebus. Während wir durch das Andenhochland in Richtung Süden fahren, können Sie erleben, wie der erste Tageslicht über ruhigen Dörfern und Berglandschaften aufbricht. Nach etwa 1,5 Stunden Fahrt machen wir in einem lokalen Restaurant Halt, um ein traditionelles Frühstück zu genießen. So haben Sie Gelegenheit, sich vor der Wanderung zu entspannen und neue Energie zu tanken.
Nach dem Frühstück setzen wir unsere Reise zum Ausgangspunkt des Palccoyo-Wanderwegs fort, der auf einer Höhe von etwa 4.800 Metern liegt. Hier beginnen wir eine kurze und leichte Wanderung durch farbenfrohe, hügelige Landschaften. Die Strecke ist etwa 1,5 Kilometer lang (ca. 40 Minuten) und verläuft leicht ansteigend, sodass sie für die meisten Fitnessstufen geeignet ist. Unterwegs werden wir von spektakulären Ausblicken auf die drei Palccoyo-Regenbogenberge umgeben sein, die jeweils in leuchtenden Rot-, Grün-, Gelb- und Orangetönen schimmern. Im Gegensatz zum stärker frequentierten Vinicunca-Wanderweg bietet der Palccoyo-Wanderweg ein ruhiges und weniger touristisches Erlebnis. Am höchsten Punkt der Wanderroute, auf rund 4.900 Metern, machen wir eine Pause, um den atemberaubenden Panoramablick auf die Anden zu genießen. An klaren Tagen kann man in der Ferne sogar grasende Lamas entdecken.
Besuch des Steinwaldes (optional) Wir setzen unsere Erkundungstour zum nahegelegenen Steinwald fort, einer surrealen Landschaft aus hoch aufragenden Felsformationen, die durch jahrhundertelange Wind- und Erosionsprozesse geformt wurden. Diese einzigartigen geologischen Formationen ähneln Türmen, Tieren oder antiken Tempeln und regen die Fantasie an und wecken Staunen. Während der Erkundungstour wird Ihr Reiseleiter Ihnen Einblicke in lokale Mythen und Geschichten rund um die Felsen geben. Wir erreichen außerdem einen weiteren Aussichtspunkt, von dem aus man einen atemberaubenden Blick auf den Ausangate-Gletscher hat, den höchsten Gipfel der Region Cusco, der majestätisch in der Ferne emporragt.
Nachdem wir die Aussicht genossen und die Zeit im Steinwald verbracht haben, kehren wir auf demselben Weg zu unserem Fahrzeug zurück. Der Abstieg ist einfacher und lässt einem Zeit, über die atemberaubenden Naturschauspiele nachzudenken, die man erlebt hat. Auf dem Rückweg nach Cusco machen wir Halt in einem Dorf in der Umgebung, um ein herzhaftes andines Mittagessen zu genießen, das aus regionalen Gerichten mit frischen Zutaten aus der Region besteht, wie Suppen, Kartoffeln, Eintöpfen und Gemüse. Wir werden voraussichtlich gegen 16:30 Uhr wieder in Cusco ankommen und damit einen Tag voller beeindruckender Landschaften, frischer Bergluft und einer tiefen Verbundenheit mit der Andenlandschaft ausklingen lassen.

It challenged us physically but I am so glad we did it!

We are glad to know that the effort was worthwhile and that you enjoyed the adventure. Thank you for choosing to explore this incredible destination with us.
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.
Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with us. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the beautiful landscapes, the peaceful atmosphere, and the opportunity to explore Palcoyo with fewer crowds. We appreciate your feedback regarding the explanations during the tour. Your comments are very valuable, and we will continue working with our guides to strengthen the cultural and historical information provided throughout the experience.
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.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the tour, the included meals, and found it to be a good value. We appreciate your feedback regarding the pickup time and the guiding experience. Your comments help us improve our communication and continue providing a better service for our travelers.
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.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the incredible landscapes, the organization of the tour, and the attention provided by our team. We truly appreciate your kind words about Joel and Luis, who are always committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for our travelers. We are also glad that you appreciated the care taken with altitude recommendations and the support of the local community. Thank you for your high recommendation. We hope to welcome you again for more unforgettable experiences in Peru.
