I struggled with this review. On the one hand, Palccoyo is terrific - very few people, spectacular views, and as easy as hiking could be at 16K feet. I'm glad we saw it. I also thought paying $66 for two people, plus around $6 each for admission, was very reasonable given the length of the van ride (4.5 hours each way) and since both breakfast and lunch were included (both at the same spot, both mediocre at best). On the other hand, Rachel (the guide) was terrible. This was advertised to be an English/Spanish tour ... she quickly realized I was one of only 2 or 3 that did not speak Spanish, and aside from one piece of instruction early on, I guess she figured it wasn't worth her time and effort to translate, as she spoke to the group only in Spanish. Not that she spoke a lot - there was NO information given about the site, about when we had to return to the van once we were at the site, to point out interesting sites along the way, etc. The only time during the entire 9 hour ride she spoke, was to notify us we were about to stop to eat in two minutes. Once we got to the site, we were on our own to walk around - no interpretive signs explaining anything, and certainly no information from her. If you consider the price you are paying, to be JUST for the transportation there and back, along with a quick bite to eat, you'll probably enjoy the day much more than if you are expecting any sort of guide to lead you along or provide you helpful information.
Punctual pickup, decent van, and a safe driver on bumpy roads. The walk itself is short and manageable for most fitness levels. Oxygen was available in the van just in case, which gave peace of mind. Not as crowded as the classic Rainbow Mountain, making the experience much more enjoyable.
Everything perfect except for the very early pickup time of 4:10, highly recommended to go up to the stone forest

The colors are real, the altitude is high, and the hike is short and flat. Most of your day is spent driving, but the landscape at the top is completely worth the long van ride.
Very good guide, very good agency. Nothing to complain about regarding the organization.
The overall experience was fantastic. Arnaldo the driver picked us up and did a great job driving. Edward the guide was very informative, friendly and took great care of us, especially due to the snowy environment. A marvelous event to remember.
Tour bus arrived on time. Meals provided were great. Tour guide, Wilfredo, was accommodating and didn’t rush the hike.
A few days before the date of our tour contracted the travel agency contacted to confirm and guide about our tour. On the day of the tour, 5min before arriving at my hotel, the guide Rodrigo called me to warn that he was coming to pick us up at the time of the tour. Everything went very well on the journey, the breakfast and lunch included, as well as in Palcoyo, which is beautiful. Rodrigo gave us all the necessary attention. We like it a lot.
¡Muchas gracias por compartir su maravillosa experiencia! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutó de su excursión a la Montaña de Colores Palcoyo y que todo estuvo bien organizado desde la confirmación del tour hasta el final del recorrido. Nos complace saber que Rodrigo estuvo atento en todo momento, manteniéndolos informados, brindándoles el apoyo necesario y haciendo que la experiencia fuera más cómoda y agradable. También nos alegra que hayan disfrutado del desayuno, el almuerzo incluido y de los increíbles paisajes de Palcoyo. Agradecemos mucho sus amables palabras y esperamos darle la bienvenida nuevamente para vivir otra inolvidable aventura en Perú.
Pick up was really messy. Buffet during lunch was clearly unhygienic with flies on the fresh salad visible. When I told Pablo the guide, he made sure this specific salad was replaced, but the flies where everywhere. It is no surprise to me that me and my friends got food poisening, even though we tried to avoid the salad. The rest of the tour was well organised.
Super well organized, the only point of improvement could be the meals
