-
Cañón Multicolor de Pampachulla - Multicolored Canyon of Pampachulla – A Hidden Natural Wonder in Cusco’s South Valley.
The Multicolored Canyon of Pampachulla is a lesser-known geological formation that displays natural layers of vibrant colors, akin to the famous Rainbow Mountain, but without the crowds. Its striking red, yellow, green, and ochre tones create a surreal landscape, perfect for photography, light hiking, and connecting with nature.
Highlights:
Natural mineral-rich rock formations with vivid colors
A short, scenic hike with minimal difficulty
Off-the-beaten-path – few tourists know about it
Panoramic views of the Andean mountains and South Valley
- Urcos - Laguna de Urcos is a picturesque high-Andean lake situated in the heart of the South Valley of Cusco, surrounded by rolling hills, eucalyptus forests, and local farming communities. Known for its serene waters and reflection of the Andes, it’s a peaceful stop ideal for nature lovers, birdwatchers, or travelers seeking to experience rural Peru.
- Lucre - Huacarpay Lagoon is a high-Andean wetland encircled by mountains, pre-Inca ruins, and native flora. It’s one of Cusco’s premier birdwatching locations, home to over 100 species of resident and migratory birds, and part of the Ramsar Convention on wetlands of international importance.
This natural site is not only stunning but also rich in culture and history, located next to the archaeological site of Pikillaqta and the colonial town of Lucre.
