Alternative Rainbow Mountain Palccoyo

1 day

Moderate

You love nature and culture with amazing landscapes next to o local community in the highlands.

This is not the typical trekking tour to the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain where you will be with hundreds of other tourists fighting to get the best photo with no people on it. This is the alternative rainbow mountain tour on which you will not only see "one" Rainbow Mountain but three and the hike is only 1 hour (1.5 km/0.9 miles each way) instead of 3 hours.

Also, you will not be bothered by large tourist groups around and you might even be accompanied by an alpaca or llama during the hike. With us, you will arrive first at the Rainbow Mountains and also get to know more about the local community living there
