Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain

We woke up bright and early (4am!) for our much anticipated trip to Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain. We'd been looking forward to this since we started planning our trip and were not disappointed! We had a long, but scenic, drive out to Palccoyo where we were only one of three tour vans in the whole park.

It was well worth the 3-4 hour drive. Czytaj więcej
