Itinerario
Salida desde Cusco temprano por la mañana Su aventura comienza temprano cuando salimos de Cusco alrededor de las 4 :00 a.m. en nuestro transporte turístico. A medida que nos dirigimos hacia el sur a través de las tierras altas andinas, será testigo de la primera luz del día sobre pueblos tranquilos y paisajes de montaña. Después de aproximadamente 1,5 horas de conducción, nos detendremos para desayunar en un restaurante local, lo que le dará un momento para relajarse y cargar combustible antes de la caminata.
Después del desayuno, continuamos nuestro viaje hacia el sendero Palccoyo, ubicado a una altitud de aproximadamente 4.800 metros. Aquí, comenzamos una caminata corta y fácil a través de paisajes coloridos y ondulantes. El sendero tiene unos 1,5 kilómetros (aproximadamente 40 minutos) y sigue una pendiente gradual, lo que lo hace accesible para la mayoría de los niveles de fitness. A lo largo del camino, estaremos rodeados de espectaculares vistas de las tres montañas Palccoyo Rainbow, cada una con colores minerales naturales en rojos, verdes, amarillos y naranjas vibrantes. A diferencia del sendero Vinicunca, más concurrido, Palccoyo ofrece una experiencia tranquila y menos turística. En el punto más alto del sendero, a unos 4.900 metros, nos detendremos para contemplar las impresionantes vistas panorámicas de la cordillera de los Andes. En los días despejados, incluso puede ver llamas pastando en la distancia.
Visita al Bosque de Piedra (opcional) Continuamos nuestra exploración hacia el cercano Bosque de Piedra, un paisaje surrealista de imponentes formaciones rocosas esculpidas por siglos de viento y erosión. Estas estructuras geológicas únicas se asemejan a torres, animales o templos antiguos, despertando imaginación y asombro. Mientras explora, su guía compartirá información sobre mitos locales e historias asociadas con las rocas. También llegaremos a otro mirador que ofrece una impresionante perspectiva del Glaciar Ausangate, el pico más alto de la región Cusco, de pie majestuoso en la distancia.
Después de disfrutar de las vistas y disfrutar del tiempo en el Bosque de Piedra, regresaremos por el mismo sendero a nuestro vehículo. El descenso es más fácil y da tiempo para reflexionar sobre los increíbles lugares naturales que has experimentado. En el camino de regreso a Cusco, nos detendremos en un pueblo local para disfrutar de un abundante almuerzo andino, con platos regionales hechos con ingredientes locales frescos como sopas, papas, guisos y verduras. Esperamos llegar de regreso a Cusco alrededor de las 4:30 p.m., completando un día lleno de paisajes vivos, aire fresco de montaña, y una profunda conexión con el paisaje andino.

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.
