Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Tour 1 Day

The hike is moderately difficult. It’s less strenuous than the alternative Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain trek, making it suitable for a wider range of fitness levels.

The trek is approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) round trip. The hike usually takes about 2-3 hours, depending on the group’s pace and time spent at the summit.

The highest point of the trek reaches around 4,900 m (16,076 ft) above sea level. Proper acclimatization is essential to avoid altitude sickness.

You should bring layered clothing, waterproof and windproof outerwear, sturdy hiking boots, sun protection, water, snacks, a small first-aid kit, and your camera. A detailed packing list is usually provided by the tour operator.

Yes, it’s recommended to spend at least 2-3 days in Cusco or a similar altitude to acclimatize before attempting the trek, as the high altitude can affect individuals differently.

Most tours include at least one meal, typically a traditional Andean lunch. Check with your tour operator for specific meal inclusions.

On our Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Tour in 1 Day groups go from minimum 2 persons to 8 persons.
