What you'll see and do

  1. The meeting point is in the entrance of the Cathedral of the Plaza de Armas. We started the 1:30hr journey towards the district of Checacupe. There, where we will have an average of 10 to 15 min to be able to know the 3 bridges of the area (Colonial, Republican and Inca). After this stop we will drive around two hours and half to arrive to the community of Palccoyo, the starting point of our tour. The starting point of the walk is located 4100 m.asl, from where we will start a 40-minute walk to the first Mirador located at 4800 m.asl where we can already observe the Palccoyo mountain range for about 30 minutes of free time to take photos and explore the area. Upon return of our walk we will make the visit of the Stone Forest located at 4900 m.asl and then make the descent through the Red Valley and return to the starting point of our hike. We will board our transport to head back to the Cusipata district, where we will have an exquisite lunch. After lunch we will return to Cusco.

Explore the Palccoyo Mountain with us!: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does Explore the Palccoyo Mountain with us! cost?

+

Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Explore the Palccoyo Mountain with us! take?

+

Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

Is Explore the Palccoyo Mountain with us! worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Explore the Palccoyo Mountain with us!?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Explore the Palccoyo Mountain with us! suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 15. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Explore the Palccoyo Mountain with us!?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Explore the Palccoyo Mountain with us! start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cusco?

+

On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cusco?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cusco?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
