  • Much more challenging experience
  • Round trip walking is 3 hours (approximately)
  • Visitor flow is saturated (depending on the season)
  • Altitude height is 5100 meters (16,732 feet) at the highest peak

Palcoyo

Palcoyo, albeit less known, still has an incredible view that anyone can enjoy. Here are the key points for those interested in an easier hike:

  • Perfect for those who do not want a difficult hike
  • Round trip walking is 40 minutes one way
  • Great for families
  • Takes longer for transportation
  • Not as demanding as Rainbow Mountain, therefore the trail is less saturated
  • Altitude height is 4930 meters (16,174 feet) at the highest peak
