Resplan
Tidig morgon Avgång från Cusco Ditt äventyr börjar tidigt när vi avgår Cusco runt 04:00 i vår turisttransport. När vi beger oss söderut genom det andinska höglandet kommer du att bevittna dagens första ljus över lugna byar och bergslandskap. Efter cirka 1,5 timmes körning stannar vi för en traditionell frukost på en lokal restaurang, vilket ger dig en stund att koppla av och tanka innan vandringen.
Efter frukost fortsätter vi vår resa till Palccoyo trailhead, som ligger på cirka 4 800 meters höjd. Här börjar vi en kort och lätt vandring genom färgglada, böljande landskap. Leden är cirka 1,5 kilometer (cirka 40 minuter) och följer en gradvis lutning, vilket gör den tillgänglig för de flesta fitnessnivåer. Längs vägen kommer vi att omges av spektakulära vyer över de tre Palccoyo Rainbow Mountains, var och en med naturliga mineralfärger i levande röda, gröna, gula och apelsiner. Till skillnad från den mer trånga Vinicunca leden, erbjuder Palccoyo en lugn och mindre turistisk upplevelse. På ledens högsta punkt, cirka 4 900 meter, stannar vi för att njuta av den hisnande panoramautsikten över bergskedjan Anderna. Klara dagar kan du till och med få syn på lamor som betar i fjärran.
Besök i Stenskogen (valfritt) Vi fortsätter vår upptäcktsfärd till den närliggande Stenskogen, ett surrealistiskt landskap av höga klippformationer skulpterade av århundraden av vind och erosion. Dessa unika geologiska strukturer liknar torn, djur eller gamla tempel, vilket väcker fantasi och förundran. Medan du utforskar, kommer din Guide dela insikter i lokala myter och berättelser som är förknippade med klipporna. Vi kommer också att nå en annan utsiktsplats som erbjuder en fantastisk utsikt över Ausangateglaciären, den högsta toppen i Cusco-regionen, som står majestätiskt i fjärran.
Efter att ha tagit in utsikten och njutit av tiden i Stenskogen återvänder vi via samma led till vårt fordon. Nedstigningen är lättare och ger tid att reflektera över de fantastiska naturupplevelser du har upplevt. På vägen tillbaka till Cusco stannar vi till i en lokal by för att njuta av en rejäl andinsk lunch, med regionala rätter gjorda på färska lokala råvaror som soppor, potatis, grytor och grönsaker. Vi räknar med att anlända tillbaka till Cusco runt 16:30, vilket avslutar en dag full av levande natur, frisk bergsluft och en djup koppling till det andinska landskapet.

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!
