Description

Join us and discover the impressive Pallay Punchu Mountain, a natural gem of Cusco famous for its colorful formations, surrounded by spectacular landscapes such as the Langui-Layo Lagoon, with meals included.
Start your adventure very early at 4:00 AM, when we will pick you up at your hotel and then head south to the community of Cusipata for a delicious buffet breakfast. We will then continue by road, passing through the village of Marangani, and arriving at the end of the road, the bus parking point.

Once there, you'll get a brief explanation from your expert guide en route. You'll then start an uphill walk of approximately 40 minutes, passing along a trail full of grasslands and reddish earth, accompanied by the area's fauna as well as llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and birds. You'll reach the top of the Pallay Punchu mountain and get a privileged view of the Langui-Layo lagoon.

Once you reach the top, you'll have a break, and your tour guide will give you an explanation of the area's geography and the importance of this mountain. You'll be able to take your best photos and videos and climb on these rocky lands that seem to be from another planet, which stand out for their perfectly sculpted lines that look like an Andean poncho.

After enjoying the experience and the panoramic views, you'll begin the descent to return to the starting point, where transportation awaits to take you back to the town of Cusipata for a delicious buffet lunch. You'll then return to Cusco, arriving at approximately 5:00 pm, where we'll drop you off very close to the Plaza de Armas.
