PALCOYO MOUNTAIN

CUSCO – RAINBOW MOUNTAINS PALCOYO – CHECACUPE – CUSCO

We will pick you up very early from your hotel (4:00am) and set out on a drive through the South Valley. The drive to the trailhead at Palcoyo is about 4 hours where we will have our breakfast. After breakfast we take a gradual uphill walk (30-45 minutes) to the Palcoyo Pass (5000m/16,400ft). Here you will have spectacular panoramic views of three Rainbow Mountain Palcoyo and Ausangate. We will spend approximately 1 hour at the pass taking pictures, having a snack, and enjoying the spectacular view. Once we are done enjoying the scenery we walk back down the way we came. We now take our private transport to the village called Checacupe (approx 1 hour) where we will enjoy our box lunch and explore the small bridge there. After taking some time to walk across the bridge (30 min), take pictures and enjoy the area we take our private transport back to your hotel in Cusco (about a 2 to 2.5 hour drive).
