Description
Opt for a less strenuous alternative to Vinicunca with a day hike to Palyoco, a seven-color peak that offers exceptional photographic opportunities, from Cusco. Instead of having to hike for five hours, you'll take a short, one-hour hike before enjoying the views of Rainbow Mountain; plus, you'll hike at a more relaxed pace in a small group limited to 15 people.
