Itinerario Palccoyo Mountain – 1 Day
We begin this adventure early in the morning, with pickup from your hotel in Cusco and departing for the province of Canchis, in the heart of the Peruvian Andes. Along the way, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the Andean sunrise and pass through charming rural villages.
Our first stop is in Cusipata , where you’ll enjoy a nutritious buffet breakfast at a local restaurant. We then continue to the starting point, where a short, easy trek begins, ideal for all types of travelers.
Palccoyo Mountain will surprise you with its landscape of multicolored mountains, much less crowded than Vinicunca Mountain. From its natural viewpoints, you can observe the majestic Ausangate mountain range , as well as the impressive Stone Forest, a unique geological formation that adds a magical touch to the surroundings.
During the tour, you’ll have time to connect with nature, learn about the Andean worldview, observe free-roaming llamas and alpacas, and capture unforgettable photographs of this otherworldly setting.
At the end of the visit, we’ll return to Cusipata to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch. Finally, we’ll return to Cusco, where we’ll drop you off at your hotel or a central location in the city.
