Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Range & Stone Forest 

16 hours

Moderate

An easy way to see the rainbow mountain range. Our vehicle will leave you in front of this colourful mountain. The stone forest, in the top of mountain, is waiting for you, to have a great view of the range.


Very early in the morning we will start our trip to the Community of Palccoyo located south east of Cusco. On the way we will have the possibility of seeing the evolution of the road system through three bridges: the Inca (XV Century); the Colonial (Centuries of the XVII to XVIII) and the Modern one that dates from the year 1895 and is made of railway lines. After passing the access control booth and a short stop for breakfast, we will arrive to Huallatakunka where we will begin our walk to get to know this new attraction. Just a few meters from the start we can see the first mountain of a vast mountain range with colors similar to the rainbow, which gives a cheerful and at the same time mystical. This natural beauty is the sister of the famous Vinicunca but closer and with better accessibility. We will enjoy spectacular views through three viewpoints that we will find during our walk, in one of them we can see up to 3 mountains of colors at the same time and in another we will have an impressive view of the Ausangate mountain on one side and on the other side we will have the Cordillera de Vilcanota in front of us. Finally, we will continue our upward journey towards the enigmatic Stone Forest, ideal for lovers of adventure and nature.
