Itinerary
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 07:00 a.m. to begin an unforgettable journey to Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain. The journey through the South Valley offers beautiful landscapes until you reach the colonial village of Czechocupe, where you will cross an ancient suspension bridge built with traditional techniques. Then we continue along Andean roads until the start of the trail. Your guide will give you directions before starting an easy hike with few climbs. Three colourful mountains are covered in short stretches: 15 minutes to the first, another 15 to the second and 15 more to the third. Afterwards, a 20-minute walk takes us to the Stone Forest, an impressive geological formation. During the tour, you can take photos, enjoy the scenery and learn about the spiritual connection with Apu Ausangate. At the end, we will make a stop in Cusipata for lunch Andean food in a quiet atmosphere. We returned to Cusco around 5:45 p.m.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
