- PALCOYO MOUNTAIN OF COLORS
Like the 7-color mountain Vinicunca, the Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Range has such striking colors due to the minerals found here, such as red clay, sandstone or copper oxide. This tour is different from the colorful mountain, it will only take you 1 hour to walk. This is your best option and not only because it is not a long walk but also because you will see more than 3 colored mountains.
Another advantage of this attraction is that it is not crowded, and it has the added bonus of a view of the Andes Mountains and the snow-capped Ausangate, as well as a forest of stones formed by the effect of nature.
Places to visit:
- Palccoyo Mountain Range
- Stone Forest
- Llamas and Alpacas
- Red River (rainy season)
