Join us to discover Pallay Punchu, the impressive “poncho-shaped mountain of colors” in the Andes of Cusco! After a hike filled with Andean landscapes, you will arrive at a viewpoint where its natural stripes and panoramic views will give you a unique and unforgettable experience.
This experience will begin with an early morning departure from Cusco to discover the impressive Pallay Punchu mountain of colors, known as “the natural poncho of the Andes.” We will enjoy breakfast en route, walk through landscapes of lagoons and mountains, reach the Cóndor Sayana viewpoint at 4,850 m above sea level, and finish with a buffet lunch before returning to the city of Cusco.

Very early in the morning, around 3:30 a.m., we will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco to begin our journey southward. After an hour and a half drive, we will make our first stop in the town of Collca, where we will enjoy an energizing breakfast to start the day.
We will continue our journey for about two hours, passing beautiful Andean landscapes and the waters of the Langui lagoon, until we reach the district of Layo. Here we will make a brief stop to take pictures and learn about the importance of trout as the main resource in the area.
Just 15 minutes from there, we will arrive at the starting point of our hike. We will undertake a moderate ascent of approximately 1 hour along a scenic trail until we reach the Cóndor Sayana viewpoint (4,850 m.a.s.l.). From here, we will enjoy a privileged view of the districts of Layo and Langui, and of course, Pallay Punchu, whose colorful stripes are reminiscent of a traditional Andean poncho.
After exploring and taking our last photos, we will descend to board our transport and head to the restaurant, where a buffet lunch with local specialties awaits us. Finally, we will return to the city of Cusco, arriving at approximately 5:30 p.m. near the Plaza Mayor.
We offer options adapted to your budget. The price will depend on whether you are traveling in a group or prefer a private tour (minimum 2 people). The rate will be per person.
