On this walk you will see picturesque villages, beautiful “adobe” houses, herds of llamas and alpacas, and you will have a magnificent view of the glacier Ausangate (6,385 m / 20,945 feet). With the beauty and uninterrupted solitude, this is a spectacular journey for hikers who love a true outdoor adventure.
Palcoyo Rainbow Mountains: A fantastic alternative tour to the popular “Rainbow Mountain." Palcoyo Rainbow Mountains offers a more relaxed and peaceful place option that is best for those who don’t want to hike 4 hours round trip, providing an amazing view of 3 distinct rainbow mountains, the stone forest, and the Ausangate glacier in the distance in only a short 30 minute walk (one way).
Checacupe 3 bridges: Checacupe is a special place where you will see 3 different bridges and have the opportunity to cross the Inca bridge, which is an amazing experience.
Secondly, INKA TRAIL offers high-altitude ecotourism in the mountains; Humantay Lake Tour is one of them and is perfect for nature lovers. This is a new authentic experience in the Andes of Cusco.
Join an exclusive INKA TRAIL group: Cusco explorers like you who seek to achieve their dreams in Cusco, Perú, and Machupicchu. So if you are in Cusco or wherever you don’t miss out, the rainbow mountain tours will be a spiritual gate to the Andean gods, such as the Mother Nature. We are sure that you will have unique and memorable experiences. Also, there is a Vinicunca 2-day tour with an overnight stay in our Andean Lodge, and we can fix travel packages in Cusco, including the experience at Rainbow Mountain.
The adventure begins very early with our team picking you up from your hotel at 06:00 hrs. and heading to the small village of Checacupe (located south of Cusco). Where we will make a stop to see an Inca and a colonial bridge and also to grab some last-minute items like drinks, snacks, sunblock, rainponcho, etc.
After the short stop, we continue one more hour to the base camp. Once we arrive there, we take a short and gradual uphill walk (30–45 minutes) to the Palcoyo Pass (4880 m/16,000 ft). Here you will have spectacular panoramic views of the 3 Rainbow Mountains and the spectacular Palccoyo peaks as well, as well as the highest mountain in the Cusco region (Ausangate) and also the Stone Forest at the highest point. We will spend 1 hour at the pass taking pictures and enjoying the spectacular view.
Once we are done enjoying the scenery, we walk back down the same way to the base camp. We now take our private transport to the village called Cusipata to enjoy a delicious, freshly prepared, hot lunch.
After lunch, we will catch our private van back to Cusco. We will drop you off at Regocijo Plaza about 17:00.
