Tour Overview
The Pallay Punchu Rainbow Mountain is one of the new and best attractions in Cusco. Located 194km on the southern side of Cusco at 4,650 m (15,256 feet), it offers different breathtaking views of the Andes Mountains.
According to various investigations done at the site, the multi-colored hues of the mountain resemble the ponchos used in Peru. The poncho is both an ancestral and contemporary item of clothing that crosses borders and time.
Other thing that you’ll learn is the authentic Andean traditions and geology while you are surrounded by astonishing pastures and red mountains. Join us, and don’t forget to bring your Andean poncho for the best photos!
