Escape the crowds and discover Palccoyo, a stunning and more accessible alternative to the classic Rainbow Mountain. A relatively gentle walk of about 45-60 minutes from the car park brings you to breathtaking viewpoints of not one, but three rainbow-colored mountains set against the backdrop of the mighty Ausangate peak. The path is well-maintained, but the high altitude of around 4,900 meters (16,000 feet) means you'll want to take it slow and steady. For a small entrance fee of around 15 soles, you can immerse yourself in this tranquil Andean landscape, complete with a unique "stone forest" to explore.
