Overview

Fewer crowds and an easier trek make Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain an obvious alternative to the more popular Vinicuna Rainbow Mountain, without sacrificing any of the views. This private tour takes you straight from your Cusco hotel to the mountain, where you take a 45-minute trek to a stunning vista point over the famously multi-colored range. Stop to enjoy lunch and see an Incan ruin on the return trip.

Spectacular day

Marlene_D, May 2024

This mountain area is spectacular. It perhaps should be known as Rainbow Mountain 2 as it is not the one of instagram fame but I believe this experience far surpasses that one from what I’ve heard. This is a an amazing area with terraced mountains, free Alpaca roaming and painted mountains. It surpasses my expectation. I would recommend this trip to anyone if nature is what you’re after and not a tourist nightmare;) Be aware that It is remote and gravel road for a large part of it. A shout out to Jenny our guide and Luis our driver. They were both charming, easygoing and excellent.

Not worth the price

A bit of a cowboy service when I paid premium for it. I was expecting better value for money. Overall not impressed with the service despite the beautiful landscape.
