Get ready for a unique adventure to the Pallay Poncho Rainbow Mountain, a hidden treasure in the south of Cusco. We depart from the city and travel through stunning Andean landscapes until we reach Sicuani, where we enjoy a delicious local breakfast. Then we continue to the district of Layo, the starting point of our hike at 4,150 meters above sea level. After about an hour of moderate ascent along ancient trails, we arrive at the viewpoint located at 4,650 meters, where the mountain surprises us with its vibrant colors and its unique poncho shape. You'll have free time to explore and take unforgettable photos.
After enjoying the views, we return to the starting point and head to the town of Langui for a comforting Andean lunch. Finally, we begin our journey back to Cusco, carrying with us a day filled with nature, culture, and adventure.
