Overview

Opt for a less strenuous alternative to Vinicunca on a day trip to Palyoco, a 7-colored peak that provides exceptional photo opportunities, from Cusco. Rather than having to trek for five hours, you’ll take a short 1-hour walk before enjoying views of the Rainbow Mountain—plus, you’ll hike at a more relaxed pace in a small group limited to 15 people.

My friend and I had a great time on this tour. The tour picked us upand arrived exactly on time. The guide was very communicative throughout, keeping everyone updated on where we were headed and time to get there. The breakfast and lunch were both good and the group was given plenty of time to enjoy each meal and stretch our legs. We also enjoyed the brief detour to Chececupe. Our time at Palcoyo was excellent. The guide was very helpful and provided assistance to any that were struggling with the altitude. We were given plenty of time to take photos on the hike up as well as at the top.

The colors were better than I pictured!

What an amazing and different landscape! Roland was a great guide, and the pace was just right considering the elevation. Definitely worth the bumpy ride and early wake up.

Experience of a lifetime

Making it to the top. What a good feeling! It wasn’t easy but we did it. Our guide was awesome. Checked on us the whole way up. Breakfast and lunch were good. Driver made sure we always arrived first. The countryside is beautiful. Loved seeing the Llamas roaming free.. Highly recommend this trip

Wonderful hike with a rough ride there and back

Stephanie_H, Oct 2023

The hike itself was wonderful. Be aware that the ride getting there is rough. I’m not often carsick but the ride home was awful and I vomited twice. It’s not the fault of the tour company, the roads are just not in good condition. We enjoyed the rest of the experience and our guide Ronal was great.

Palcoyo mountain

Michael_A, Oct 2023

Our guide was really good, informative, helpful and patient. We are glad we went to Palcoyo rather than Rainbow Mountain, less stress and less tourists. We got to see three different mountains which was great. We heard Rainbow Mountain can be quite stressful due to the high number of tourists and the rush to get up and down.

Great tour, highly recommended!

Wonderful adventure!

Gloria_K, May 2022

The best part of the trip was being able to see all the beautiful sites! Our guide was very helpful and stayed back with us! The only downside of this trip was the 3:30 hour ride to and from our hotel.

Lindísima experiencia . Lástima que la atención de chullos Travel antes del tour fue pésima y tuvimos que escribirles nosotros un día antes y rogarles porque nos enviaran información del tour

Excelente Tour para fotografías

Excelente experiencia, guía y chofer muy amables y preocupados del grupo. El tour se desarrolló en los tiempos programados. :)

Journée inoubliable à Palcoyo moutain

HICHAM_b, Apr 2022

Nous avons passé une journée formidable. La vue est à couper le souffle. Les guides ainsi que le chauffeur sont d'un professionnalisme et d'une gentillesse irréprochable. Je recommande sans hésitation.
