An easy 25-minute walk to palcoyo mountain, the Stone Forest and views of Ausangate, with hotel pickup, breakfast and buffet lunch included.

Lo más destacado

  • Three rainbow mountains seen in one circuit, without exhausting climbs
  • Gentle, mostly flat 45-minute walk suitable for families and older travelers
  • Stone Forest viewpoint with panoramic views of the Ausangate Glacier
  • Crowd-free setting with llamas, alpacas and Quechua herding communities
  • Breakfast and buffet lunch included
Palccoyo is a quieter, gentler alternative to Vinicunca, set in the Vilcanota range south of Cusco. The walk takes about 45 minutes on a well-defined path, with none of the steep climbing you get on other high-altitude treks. Along the way you'll see three rainbow-striped mountains in natural shades of red, ochre, turquoise and gold. From there we continue a little higher to the Stone Forest (Bosque de Piedras) viewpoint, at nearly 5,000 m, for 360-degree views of the snow-capped Apu Ausangate. You'll have plenty of free time for photos, and I'll explain the geology behind the colours. We leave early with pickup from your hotel in Cusco's historic center. The drive passes Andean valleys, Quechua communities, terraced hillsides and herds of alpacas and llamas. Breakfast and a buffet lunch are both included, in Cusipata, and we're back in Cusco in the late afternoon.
