Escape the crowds and discover a different kind of rainbow at Pallay Punchu, a truly stunning and less-traveled mountain of colors. The peaks here are sharp and jagged, with vibrant stripes that look like a traditional Andean poncho draped over the earth. From the top, you'll get incredible views that include the vast, beautiful Langui Lagoon below. The final ascent from the car park is a steep, high-altitude hike that takes about an hour and a half, but the rewarding solitude and unique landscape make every step worth it.
