Once again the nature of the city of Cusco shows us another impressive natural attraction "The rainbow mountain range of Palccoyo" where we will enjoy the beauty and colour of the region, likewise we can appreciate the variety of flora and fauna that shows us this beautiful place.
This attraction is relatively new and many people of the region did not know about this Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain Range, since before it was covered by snow, which did not allow to see its coloration; However, due to global warming, the snow has disappeared and now with our new excursion it is possible to visit the Palccoyo Rainbow Range (Combapata).

Upon arrival to Checacupe we will observe the evolutionary process of the road system through three colonial bridges located in the same town of Checacupe: Incan bridge, Colonial Bridge and the Republican Bridge, you can also see a colonial temple with fine carving works in wood, gold leaf and that houses the paintings of the Cusco school (Diego Quispe).
Once the visit of this archaeological centre is finished, we will depart to the Rainbow Mountain Range of Palccoyo, located at 4,900 meters above sea level.

Giovanni and Edmar were excellent Tour Guides, they were prepared with First Aid, in case we needed, I felt bad in the middle of the way and they always support us. This is a difficult trade, eat light and try the Sorojchi Pills.

As we all know we have a pandemic and especially Peru is unfortunately hit very bad. I have asked For the possibility to postpone the trip but was not offered anything. This is simply not good enough.

I am very thankful to Machu Picchu Peru Tours team for making my dream come true and arranging this trek in an efficient way. I visited the Rainbow Mountain hiking up although I did have the option of riding on a horse back. The guide was very nice and he gave me the confidence that i could hike up and trust me it was well worth the time and effort.

This trip to the Rainbow Mountain was somewhat challenging as we are not used to high altitude hikes Jose is a nice and knowledgable guide and his expertise and tips helped us a lot. Machu Picchu Peru Tours has some of the friendliest team of tour cordinators we encountered in South America. We will surely be recommending them to our friends and families back home.

O que dizer da nossa experiência no Peru? Podemos dizer que foi fantástico, aprendemos muito mais que paisagens, história, cultura e muito amor a profissão.
Nosso Guia Alex, nos fez chorar no dia de partida, pois ele é nossa principal saudade do Peru, através do seu olhar e conhecimento ganhamos 1.000 anos de estudos e aprendemos um pouco mais sobre a cultura inca.
Nos presenteou com a Neve, algo que nenhum de nós imaginavamos ver.
Foi emocionante.
Se forem ao Peru, Contrate a Machu Picchu Tours, e peçam o Alex como Guia e Sr. Fernando como Motorista e claro o menino Giovani para tirar suas fotos.
Não voltaremos ao Peru, porque ainda existe um mundo inteiro para explorar.
Mase e voltarmos um dia, será para visitar um irmão que Dios e la Madre tierra nos deu ALEX.
Recomendamos a Machu Picchu Tours, são pessoas que fazem trabalho com amor.
