Palcoyo Tour 1 Day

Tours Leave review

You will experience what it is like to be at 4900 m.a.s.l. after a not very strenuous hike, surrounded by magical landscapes that look like from another planet. You will see mountains with minerals of different colors, red valleys and when there is no cloud you have spectacular 360° views of the area and the highest mountain of Cusco, the Ausangate (6380 m.a.s.l.).

You can also see the Stone Forest (optional) which is a rock formation. In this area there are locals who still keep their old traditions, their clothes that identify them as people of this area. Some of them breed llamas and alpacas.
