Rainbow mountains Palcoyo

The rainbow mountains are rock formations a few hours from Cusco, formed by iron and other minerals. Unfortunately, they're located at 5000m altitude. Only explored touristically in the last five years, they're one of the top sights in cusco now. There are in fact two, Vinicunca, the better explored and crowded one and Palcoyo, which apparently is blissfully empty in comparison. We went to Palcoyo and despite the long drive, were very happy we did so.Leggi altro
