EXPERIENCE Around 8:00 AM, we begin our guided hike toward Pallay Poncho Mountain. The trail is relatively short, and our professional guide keeps a comfortable pace while sharing insights about the local culture, geology, and unique high-altitude ecosystem. From the beginning, enjoy spectacular views of Langui Lake, dramatic red mountains, and impressive rock formations. As we climb, the scenery becomes even more striking until we reach the Pallay Poncho viewpoint. At the top, enjoy free time to explore the colorful mountain formations that resemble a traditional Andean poncho, take unforgettable photos, and appreciate the peaceful atmosphere away from the crowds. After enjoying the views, we begin an easy 20-minute downhill walk back to our vehicle. We then return to Cusipata, where a delicious buffet lunch awaits before continuing our journey back to Cusco.

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.
