Our destiny is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.

The "Rainbow Mountain Range" is located south of Cusco, in the community of Palccoyo. The geography of this impressive natural attraction is characterized by the presence of snow-capped peaks, stone forests, and a great wall from pre-Inca times. In addition, you can see a scale of colors where turquoise, violet, red, green and ocher stand out. The tour to the "Rainbow Mountain Range" is a preferred route by travelers looking for shorter walks with fewer tourists.

Enjoy spectacular views from the 3 viewpoints of the well-known "Cordillera Arcoiris de Palccoyo".
