Additional Information

The Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain in the Peruvian Andes offers an alternative experience to the more well-known Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain. One of the standout features of Palccoyo is that it is less frequented by tourists, resulting in a more peaceful and unhurried atmosphere for visitors.

An impeccable experience - It was a perfect visit, from breakfast, climbing the mountain, lunch and until we were dropped off at the hotel. From the transfer to the mountain you can see very beautiful landscapes, once you leave us at the foot of the mountain the adventure begins. That day we got snow and increased the experience, the guides always kept an eye on us, supported us and did not leave us alone at any time. They gave us the explanation of why mountains have that color. The scenery was magical. It must be mentioned that all the time the guides are taking care of you, they accompany you and do not leave you behind.

Amazing landscape and great tour! - Brian is a very attentive and patient guide all throughout our tour. He provided valuable insight and ensured we were all prepared before we commenced our two-hour hike. He helped with our photos and videos. The views are amazing and the experience unforgettable.

Magical and Majestic Tour! - Magical and majestic scenery. This was a far superior option to Vinicunca. Palccoyo Mountain had breathtaking views and covered more mountains to see. Jose was phenomenal and checked in on everyone and gave great tips for the tour. Rafael the driver was a master of the complex roads. Lunch buffet was spectacular and hit the spot after a long day. Highly recommend this tour company.

Good trip, but meals arrangement can be improved - Pros: Karen, the tour provider, was fantastic and very responsive with chats. The tour guide was friendly and good at taking pictures It's better option than Rainbow mountain because it's less crowded Cons: The breakfast and lunch were terrible. They limit only 1 a quarter size of egg for breakfast. The lunch was barely edible. It's a bit long to get there. Altitude sickness: Please be aware and bring your oxygen.
