Palcoyo Mountain - I had already visited other colorful mountains in Cusco, but Pallay Punchu has a different landscape. The formations look like colored spikes. The tour was well organized and the guide explained a lot during the tour. It was a good experience.

Amazing view - At first I hesitated to visit this mountain of colors for the height, but it was certainly the best decision. The road was simple, I didn't feel the height. We were able to take pictures in the 3 colorful mountains and visited the stone forest. I recommend it to everyone who wants a hike not so heavy or demanding

Excellent experience - I ventured to visit this beautiful mountain and really recommend it. Me and my family opted for a private tour, the guides were always attentive, we had a lot of fun. I'd go back to more of my relatives

The best walk - I spent a few days in Cusco and decided to do the tour to Pallay Punchu because I wanted to know something different from the most famous places. The road is long but the scenery throughout is very beautiful. The walk has steep parts for the height, but the guide always kept an eye on the group. Getting upstairs and seeing the mountains with those shapes was amazing.

Amazing excursion and very well organized - I travelled from Madrid and decided to take this tour during my visit to Cusco. It was a lovely experience. The mountain scenery is stunning and the whole tour was very well organized.
The guides were very attentive, friendly and explained everything very well. You can see that they know the area a lot and were always watching the group.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cusco. It's totally worth it.

All with great quality - The agency provides an amazing service! Has a clear and very attentive communication from the time of hiring until the last day of tours. Still, the whole structure is great, the vans and cars are very comfortable, the guides are very friendly and know a lot of the themes presented and the lunches included in the tours are very tasty.

Excellent tour, bring your own food - We enjoyed the trip and tour. The tour guide, Joel, was excellent and our driver got us there safely and comfortably. Highly recommend the full day Pollcoyo Rainbow Mountain tour! The only disappointment was the food. Breakfast and lunch were included and served at the same restaurant. Very sub par, could barely eat the food. We have been in Cusco for 2.5 weeks and had many good meals (on tours and outside of tours). This was definitely the worst and we were a captive audience with both meals there.
