"Let's go to the Palccoyo Seven Colors Mountain, Cusco - Peru"
Vinicunca is not the only colorful mountain you can visit in Cusco. Just four hours from the imperial city of Cusco, Palccoyo Rainbow mountain is a natural attraction worth exploring on your next vacation, as it does not demand much time or effort. The beauties of its natural landscapes are just as surprising as the famous Vinicunca Seven Colors Mountain.
The one-day tour to Palccoyo mountain gives you the option to appreciate the forest of rocks and from there, spot the three hills of seven colors, the most impressive natural wonders.
It also allows you to get to know small Andean communities that still live their traditional lifestyles, from where you can witness the sacred Apu Ausangate. Every day more and more people discover this incredible place, but for now, it remains a secret spot for the most adventurous hikers.
Palccoyo is an alternative plan that has everything you need to make your trip a magical and unique experience in Cusco with only a 30 to 40 minute walk.
