TRAVEL ITINERARY

Cusco | Checacupe | Rainbow Moutains Of Palcoyo / The Rock Forest / Cusco

Our tour begins with pick-up from the hotel from 4.30 to 5.00 am, and then we go to the town of Cusipata (approximately 2 hours). Arriving at this small and picturesque town, we will have our breakfast and free time to use the toilets, buy hydrating drinks and snacks.

Then we will continue our trip for an additional 1 hour and a half to the starting point of the walk, the hamlet of Palcoyo (4200 meters above sea level). The adventure begins with an imposing view of the Stone Forest and, in turn, some colorful mountains that indicate that we are already very close to the Colored Mountain Range. After an introduction from our guide, we will begin our walk. The ascent will be pleasant and will last approximately 30 minutes. During the journey we will observe a great variety of South American camelids and reaching the top we will be able to appreciate the imposing Apu Ausangate (approximately 6,380). This place is also unique and magical, since nature has shaped it capriciously. It is there where we will have the respective explanation of the place, then the offering ceremony to the Pachamama and of course free time for photographs, enjoying and exploring the Cordillera de Colores and the Stone Forest. After enjoying a quiet moment in contact with nature and the Apus (spirits of the Mountains), we will begin our return to the town of Cusipata where we will have lunch. Later, we will return to the city of Cusco, ending our tour at approximately 5:00 pm.
