Palcoyo Day Hike: Three Rainbow Mountains, Only for Your Group
The Palcoyo Day Hike is a private Palcoyo tour to Palcoyo, home to three rainbow mountains and a dramatic Stone Forest, with a shorter walk and far fewer visitors than Vinicunca.
This private tour from Cusco costs USD 204 for 1 traveler and USD 366 for a group of 10 (USD 36.60 per person), with private transport, a private bilingual guide, breakfast, buffet lunch and the Palcoyo entrance included. Pickup is at 4:15–4:45 AM and you are back in Cusco around 4:00–4:30 PM.
You travel in your own vehicle and hike only about 2 km at your group’s pace, with views of llamas, alpacas and snow-capped peaks. As the entrance fee is included, there is nothing extra to pay on the day.
