1. We will pick you up very early from your Cusco hotel (5:00am) (time is very flexible) and set out on a beautiful drive through the South Valley. The drive to the trailhead at Palcoyo is about 3.5 hours where we will have a time to enjoy your snacks. After it, we will take a short, gradual uphill walk (20-30 minutes) to the Palcoyo Pass (5000m/16,400ft). Here you will have spectacular panoramic views of three Rainbow Mountain Palcoyo peaks as well as the highest mountain in the Cusco region (Ausangate Glacier). We will spend 1 hour at the pass taking pictures, having a snack, and enjoying the spectacular view & visiting the rocks valley in between. Once we are done enjoying the scenery we walk back down the way we came. We now take our private transport to the village called Checacupe where we will enjoy a break time for drinks around the magic of the willcamayu River shores. After taking some time, we will take our private transport back to your hotel in Cusco (about a 2 hour drive).

During this full-day tour from Cusco, enjoy the mountain's natural beauty, and take plenty of pictures of this Rainbow Mountain alternative, which requires no strenuous activity.

About Cusco

Cusco, antiga capital inca nos Andes peruanos, combina imponentes muros de pedra e igrejas coloniais e é a porta de entrada para Machu Picchu.

A Plaza de Armas é o coração da cidade, enquadrada pela catedral e pela igreja jesuíta da Companhia. A cantaria inca sobrevive por todo o centro, mais famosa no Qorikancha, o templo do sol sobre o qual os espanhóis construíram um convento, e na pedra de doze ângulos da rua Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, o bairro dos artesãos, sobe a pique entre oficinas e cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
