Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain
Full Day
The other Rainbow Mountain

This full-day tour is designed for travelers who want to discover less crowded wonders without giving up comfort or adventure. The hike at Palccoyo is shorter and more accessible — ideal for acclimatizing to altitude while enjoying breathtaking Andean panoramas.

Still have questions? We'll answer them here
It is a moderate hike due to the altitude (it can exceed 4,800 m / 15,750 ft). You go at your own pace; the key is to be well acclimatized.
We recommend arriving in Cusco 1 or 2 days early to acclimatize, staying hydrated, eating light and avoiding alcohol the day before. Coca tea helps and, if you are sensitive, you can bring altitude-sickness pills ("Soroche Pills"), available at any pharmacy.
Warm, layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, trekking shoes or boots, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen (50+ SPF), water, energy snacks, your original ID and cash in soles for entrance fees and tips.
Departure is very early (before dawn) to enjoy the best light and avoid crowds. We will confirm the exact pickup time when you book.
The dry season (April to October) offers sunny days and the best trails. November to March is rainier, but the scenery is greener and there are fewer visitors.
