Overview

Outside of Cusco lies a truly magical landscape of painted-colored mountains and sweeping red valleys in the Andes. While Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) has gained fame on the traditional tourist circuit and become plagued by hundreds of daily visitors who hike up for a single photo, few travelers realize that nearby multiple rainbow mountains are dotting this other-worldly landscape. Being Palcoyo is the most viable option in case you want an off-the-beaten-path. Enjoy the Picnic Lunch in the mountain Palcoyo with fantastic views. Palcoyo is very similar to the well-known mountain of 7 colors Vinicunca and that is why we know that for some travelers it is difficult to decide which mountain to go to on their tours when they are in Cusco. Palcoyo became known in 2018, it went all over Peru and continues worldwide. Thanks to its visitors, who increasingly recommended it as an alternative walk to the mountain of 7 colors.
