A hidden gem near Cusco

A hidden gem near Cusco. The journey to Palccoyo Mountain was calm and easy compared to other hikes, and the colorful mountains felt almost unreal when we arrived. Everything was quiet, peaceful, and not crowded at all.

Operator response

3 Mountain of colors, stunning

Amazing place, a good option if you don't want the mass of people that attract Vinicunca. Everything was perfect only we were unlucky that we were mobilized with another agency that did not surpass the other experiences with Xtravek Peru. Outside of that a pleasant experience.

Very nice place and experience

The place is beautiful, a little exhausting for the height but worth it, the organization of the agency is good but the guide never explained anything
