Palcoyo Rainbow Mountains Tour

<nil>

Pick up from your hotel at 06:30 a.m. to start a trip to Czechocupy to appreciate its 03 bridges. Then continue the journey to the Community of Palcoyo, where you can acquire some souvenirs. We reach a point allowed for buses from where you can already appreciate the colorful mountains overlooking the snowy Ausangate. We started a brisk hike to explore the area. The peculiarity of this mountain is that very close is the Palcoyo stone forest; an important component that further embellishes this incredible landscape, and becomes very interesting when paying attention to some of the rocks that make up it, because in them we will find what appear to be some small fossilized sea creatures. After the explanation of our guide we begin the walk back. Box lunch included. Return to Cusco
