Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain – Visite privée exclusive, randonnée plus facile
Description
La Cordillère Arc en Ciel de Palccoyo est la première sœur de la célèbre montagne aux sept couleurs "Vinicunca" mais avec une meilleure accessibilité. Ses plus de neuf mille hectares naturels ont une couleur semblable à celle de l'arc-en-ciel, ce qui lui confère une atmosphère à la fois gaie et mystique. De plus, lors de cette visite, en plus d’apprécier cette beauté géologique, nous visiterons d’autres sites qui feront de ce voyage une expérience inoubliable.

Itinéraire
Une fois encore, la nature de la ville de Cusco nous montre une autre attraction naturelle impressionnante "La chaîne de montagnes arc-en-ciel de Palccoyo" où nous apprécierons la beauté et les couleurs de la région, de même que nous pouvons apprécier la variété de flore et de faune qui nous montre cette belle endroit. Cette attraction est relativement nouvelle et de nombreux habitants de la région ne connaissaient pas cette chaîne de montagnes Palccoyo Rainbow, car elle était auparavant recouverte de neige, ce qui n’a pas permis de voir sa coloration; Cependant, à cause du réchauffement climatique, la neige a disparu et maintenant, avec notre nouvelle excursion, il est possible de visiter le Palccoyo Rainbow Range (Combapata). Cusco - Checacupe - Raqchi - Archipel Arc-en-Ciel de Palccoyo - Cuatro Lagunas - Cusco Notre société Machu Picchu Peru Tours viendra vous chercher à vos différents hôtels de 6h30 à 7h00, puis se dirigera vers le sud de Cusco pendant deux heures, en direction de la ville de Checacupe, qui arrivera vers 9h00. À votre arrivée à Checacupe, nous observerons le processus évolutif du réseau routier à travers trois ponts coloniaux situés dans la même ville de Checacupe: pont Inca, pont colonial et pont républicain. Vous pourrez également voir un temple colonial orné de beaux ouvrages en bois, feuille d'or et qui abrite les peintures de l'école de Cusco (Diego Quispe). Une fois la visite de ce centre archéologique terminée, nous nous dirigerons vers la chaîne de montagnes Rainbow de Palccoyo, située à 4 900 mètres d'altitude. Une fois arrivé à ce point, nous commencerons notre promenade d'environ 40 minutes. Où nous apprécierons les vallées de glaciers érodés et les formations perméennes de couleurs brillantes qui se distinguent parmi les autres et qui sont habitées par des alpagas et des lamas. Nous pouvons également apprécier certaines communautés et agriculteurs vivant dans les zones basses de la chaîne de montagnes Rainbow à Palccoyo. Nous apprécierons également la forêt de pierres de Ccacca Loma et la montagne rouge. Après avoir visité le Rainbow Mountain Range de Palccoyo, nous poursuivrons notre circuit et nous irons à Raqchi (Palais de Dieu Wiracocha). Dans cet endroit, nous apprécierons plus de 151 colcas (QULLQAS) ou greniers qui servaient à stocker les céréales. comme le maïs et le quinoa, la pomme de terre, le chuño, le poisson séché de la côte, la viande d'alpaga séchée du plateau de Collao, utilisés à des fins cérémoniales. La structure la plus importante de Raqchi est le Temple de Dieu (wiracocha), une immense structure rectangulaire de deux étages mesurant 92 mètres de long sur 25,5 de large. La structure est composée d'un mur central en adobe de 18 à 20 mètres de hauteur, avec une base en pierre andésite. Il a des fenêtres et des portes, flanquées des deux côtés par une rangée de 11 colonnes circulaires avec la partie inférieure en pierre et la supérieure en boue. Poursuivant notre visite de la chaîne Rainbow Mountain de Palccoyo, nous irons à San Pedro pour savourer un délicieux buffet de déjeuner. Après avoir déjeuné, nous irons sur le circuit des quatre lagons, où nous observerons les différents lacs (Acopia, Pomacanchis, posposqo cocha, misky cocha), ici nous aurons assez de temps pour observer la variété des oiseaux et le paysage cela nous entoure.

We had an amazing day at Rainbow Mountain that booked with Minka Peru Expeditions. Fredy was our tour guide and he was great!!! We got lucky as no one else booked for the day so Fredy just had the three of us. We told him that we had been mountain climbing for the two days prior and that we wanted to take our time going up the mountain. He kept saying “don’t worry be happy” and we walked up slowly and took breaks to sit or take pictures which was good because the high altitude was no joke. On the way we stopped at a restaurant and had buffet breakfast and one the way back we had buffet lunch the food was delicious and managed by local staff. The views on the mountain were absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend Minka Peru Expeditions. The pick up was on time at 5am, Fredy was knowledgeable and professional and the van driver was skillful going around all the windy bends going up the mountain to RM. We had a fantastic memorable day. Thank you Fredy !
Excellent experience. The trip was well organized and a good value. Breakfast and lunch were at a family owned restaurant in the mountains, supporting local economy. There is an hour of unpaved road to travel. The scenery on it is gorgeous and the drivers skilled. Transportation was clean and modern. I am 70+ female, and anxious about hiking at 16k feet. You can see the first rainbow mountain within minutes! The guides explained the trails, length, and let us go as far as we wanted at our own pace. He checked back on us frequently. I easily completed the trail to all three rainbow mountains. The were spectacular! This is a full day trip and a great value. Side note: the hotel pickup was an hour late due to unavoidable circumstances. The operator stayed on What's App Chat with me until the bus came. That evening the operator personally came to my hotel to apologize. I was offered a free 2 hour walking tour of Cusco the next day, which was FABULOUS. I HIghly RECOMMEND this company. They go the extra mle.
Excellent experience. The transportation was clean and modern. The breakfast and lunch were at a family run and operated restaurant, supporting local economy. The scenery on the journey was gorgeous. There is over an hour of travel on unpaved road . The drivers were very skilled but may be hard if you have motion sickness. The guide led us to the base of the trail, where you can see one mountain! He explained the length and difficulty of the options and let us choose our trails and pace. He checked on us frequently while we hiked. The mountains are stunning. I am 70+, female, and was able to reach the top of the trail to view the third mountain. Even if you can't hike you can see the first mountain. Well run tour. Side note: Due to unforseen circumstances, the pickup was an hour late. The tour operator stayed on Whats Up Chat, keeping me informed. That evening Freddy personally came to my hotel to apologize in person. The next day he took me on a complimentary 2 hour walking your of Cusco which was FABULOUS. This tour provider goes the extra mile. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Great experience with the company, I recommend it 100%. The guides are very trained and experienced. Sunny day, with lunch and breakfast included. One of the best prices in Cusco in terms of quality and price. If I returned, I would repeat with the company. Thanks for the attention
A fantastic adventure through Palccoyo. The experience has been unbeatable, thanks to Freddy's attention and the wonderful views. The mountain is perfectly known and that is appreciated. He has a lot of charisma and is willing to help at all times. A 10/10. Likewise, any questions will be resolved immediately. I would repeat 1000 more times.
What a cool experience! The views around Palccoyo were unreal, and it was fun to hike around and see the rainbow hills and stone outcroppings. In the morning, we were picked up around 4:30am and drove for about an hour-ish to a restaurant for breakfast. It was tasty but light (maybe bring some snacks if you like a big breakfast). From there we visited a recreation of an Inca rope bridge. The last hour or so of driving was up a bumpy dirt road that switched back up the mountain. The views at the top were worth the ride! It's a stunning view, and we had a couple hours to explore and hike the loop trail up to some view points and through the "stone forest" (rocky outcroppings along the ridge of a nearby hill). The views were incredible! It's at a pretty high altitude (4,900 m or 16,000 ft), so make sure you are acclimated beforehand and/or use some local remedies like coca leaves. On the way back, we stopped at the same restaurant for a hearty lunch. They even took food sensitivities into account (gluten-free, no nuts, vegetarian, etc), and the food was very good. I was very happy with this trip and highly recommend it for anyone who wants to see colorful mountains in Peru!
I decided to go with this operator based on the good reviews. Sadly my experience was quite the opposite. To start with they were 50 minutes late for pickup. They did call 30 minutes after the pickup window to say they were going to be 5 minutes lates, but were still much later. On arrival the van was filthy - so dusty inside that our dark clothes showed brown marks by the time we arrived. The driver was pretty clueless and not anywhere near safe - speeding up and down and jumping on the brakes hard for no apparent reason - I’ve seen learner drivers who were safer and more skillful. Add to that that we were nearly two hours in before the “guide” spoke any English to us despite 10/11 on the bus booking an English speaking tour. It really was a comedy of errors. All things considered I ended up feeling like perhaps the tour was overbooked and they had to find an extra van/driver at the last minute. It’s really the only way to explain all of the issues. I feel bad rating then so low cause the guide eventually did try to get us on track, but it was too little too late. In summary - the mountain itself was amazing (keep 17 soles for entry fees rather than the 10 the ad suggests), but I can’t recommend this operator.
Fredy went above and beyond to make sure my teenage daughter and I had a fun, informative, and safe trip. Most of our tours got canceled and our trip to Peru Would’ve been a waste. However, Fredy reached out, made it happen, that we still see the best sites in Peru. I owe him great memories and pictures with my daughter because without him we would’ve been stuck in Cusco , not going anywhere; since other companies canceled last minute. I would’ve been so bummed if it wasn’t for Fredy. Thank you so much! You saved our trip ! :D
Spectacular location and Fredy is an amazing guy, we had a great day, the complete tour was fantastic
Freddy spoke decent English and knew quite a bit about the area. The driver was safe and the food was excellent. What I loved most was the drive through the country.
