Palccoyo Three Rainbow Mountain Trek - Peru - On The Go Tours

Palccoyo Three Rainbow Mountains

Signature  |   from   $ 435

The Palccoyo Three Rainbow Mountain Hike offers an extraordinary experience in the Peruvian Andes, allowing you to witness the stunning beauty of not just one, but three colourful mountains in a single journey. Unlike the more crowded Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain, Palccoyo is a lesser-known gem, ideal for those who want to experience the remote beauty of the Andes and gain an insight into Andean life, without a strenuous hike.

Palccoyo is an easy-moderate one hour (round trip) hike to enjoy incredible 360° views of three different rainbow mountains and the Ausangate glacier, making it accessible to a wide range of trekkers. The trail winds through a surreal landscape where mineral-rich soil has painted the mountains in vibrant hues of red, orange, yellow, and green. Along the way, you’ll pass through high-altitude plains dotted with herds of alpacas and llamas, and you’ll have panoramic views of surrounding snow-capped peaks.

After an early morning pick up from your hotel, it's a 2.5 hour drive to Compapata (3400 m.a.s.l). Going off-road enjoy a scenic 1.15 hour drive through beautiful landscapes to reach the Palccoyo area, at a height of 4900 m.a.s.l. Here you will start your 30-minute walk to the Palccoyo viewpoint where you're rewarded with breath-taking views of the three rainbow mountains, creating an unforgettable memory. There's plenty of time to appreciate the beautiful landscape and take pictures before beginning the 30 minute hike back to the vehicle. After the hike you will stop for lunch at a local restaurant before returning to Cusco.
