Palcoyo: The Other Rainbow Mountain
Forget the crowds at Vinicunca.
Palcoyo is quieter, softer, and just as stunning.
Three rainbow-colored mountains, a forest of stone, and views that stretch across the Andes.

Ancient Inca engineering at its finest: the agricultural terraces of Huchuy Qosqo (Kakya Qawani), like a giant stone staircase in the mountain. Each level required precise stonework.
