Palccoyo Mountain Tour

Info

Come to see the new mountains of colors of Palccoyo, this mountain range is the extension of the now famous Vinicunca or Mountain of 7 colors, but with better accessibility. Do you want to see the impressive colors of the mountain of 7 colors, but do not want to do the long walk through Vinicunca? There is a little known, but very good alternative. If the walk through Vinicunca is challenging, since it goes up a lot, it is long and the altitude can cause problems for some people, the road from Palccoyo is easier, shorter and mostly flat. Also, since Palccoyo is a new route, it is not well known and there are not many people. It is very likely that you are alone with your group or with some other groups. Your images will be better and you will also see three mountains of colors instead of just one with the classic Vinicunca tour. Get ready for a wonderful scenario of nature and make sure your camera has enough battery!
