Cusco
Palyoco mountain has become a fresh point of interest for visitors in Cusco, and unlike traditional hikes that extend beyond five hours to witness such a spectrum of mountain hues, a brief stroll ranging from 30 to 45 minutes suffices to behold the beauty of three colorful mountains.

A great choice - The drive through the Andes was beautiful, and the stop for breakfast in Pitumarca made it even better. The walk was easy compared to Vinicunca, and the views at the top were breathtaking. Seeing the Stone Forest on the way was a cool surprise. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants the colors of the rainbow mountains without the heavy crowds.

Palcoyo Mountain - Heber was our tour guide for Palcoyo mountain, he was upbeat and positive and explained every aspect of the tour in both English and Spanish. The tour is very good value considering you are provided with buffet breakfast and lunch, transport and a walking stick. We were also provided with a blanket after the hike which was a nice touch. You are allowed to do the hike independently which I think is really positive as there were some slower paced members of the group and it would be frustrating for us to have missed out on the rock forest if we were waiting for them. But luckily everyone could go at their own pace and Heber would keep an eye on where everyone was. He also took photos for individuals and the group which was nice. This is such a hidden gem still, lovely to explore without the huge crowds you get everywhere else!
There was a little bit of confusion with the pick up time - was initially told 4.30 by company and then think Heber was outside at 4.05, however he came back at the agreed time so no issue in the end.

Wonderful experience - The destination is wonderfull. Not so crowded and very peaceful. The hight is challenging. Would have helped if the guide did not leave the oxigen in the car which was promised to be available during the tour. We went up ot 5000 m. But fortunately we had no real need of oxigen.
I very much liked the size of our group. We were just 5 people that day with our guide plus our driver.
