We will pick you up very early from your Cusco hotel (5:00am) (time is very flexible) and set out on a beautiful drive through the South Valley. The drive to the trailhead at Palcoyo is about 3.5 hours where we will have a time to enjoy your snacks. After it, we will take a short, gradual uphill walk (20-30 minutes) to the Palcoyo Pass (5000m/16,400ft). Here you will have spectacular panoramic views of three Rainbow Mountain Palcoyo peaks as well as the highest mountain in the Cusco region (Ausangate Glacier). We will spend 1 hour at the pass taking pictures, having a snack, and enjoying the spectacular view & visiting the rocks valley in between. Once we are done enjoying the scenery we walk back down the way we came. We now take our private transport to the village called Checacupe where we will enjoy a break time for drinks around the magic of the willcamayu River shores. After taking some time, we will take our private transport back to your hotel in Cusco (about a 2 hour drive).
