Great alternative to Rainbow Mountain

Adrienne_P, Apr 2026

I am so glad I chose to visit Palccoyo Mountain instead of the famous Rainbow Mountain! The trail is much easier, and only a few other tourists are there. The whole 2 mile hike has beautiful views. Our guide Guillermo was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Cusco!

One of a kind magical place

Jose Soto was a great guide throughout the trip and the hike. He even saved my drone from a slingshot

Great place , Great Guide

Simply put the place was just outstanding. Barely any crowd and the views are breathtaking... the guide (Noah) was also super nice and really helpful. He was really on top of things . Highly recommend it ..
