Trek to Palcoyo Mountain
Before starting the trek, our guides will give some instructions so you can safely walk to the summit of the mountain. The hike will begin at 4,200 m.a.s.l. and reach 4,900 m.a.s.l., so it must be taken calmly and slowly. Along the way, we will explore the stone forests of the region, adorning mountain slopes and hills. In the distance, we will see the colorful Palcoyo mountain range, indicating that we are only a few minutes away.

Once at the top of the mountain, you will realise that all the hard work was worth it! Our Inka Rainbow guides will explain the origin of the mountain and you will have free time to fully appreciate this natural wonder. You can visit three colorful peaks, each offering unique panoramic views.
