Trekking to Palccoyo
You will trek for half an hour to the main attraction of this itinerary: Palccoyo, the Mountain of Colors. This gift of nature, little explored, has a total of 9 hectares and beautiful mountains full of color.
Palccoyo is located at an altitude of 4,900 m.a.s.l. and is just a few meters from the Nevado Ausangate Mountain, which belongs to the imposing Cordillera of the Peruvian Andes.
The colorful mountains of Palccoyo were once covered by snow. Due to global warming, the thaw has left them uncovered.
Here you will have enough time to contemplate this beautiful landscape and take pictures, which will preserve these impressive views with formations dating back millions of years for posterity.
