Bad bad experience. Worst tour of our entire trip
Horrible experience. Do not book. The coach bus was crammed with no space to sit properly. The tour guide was reading from his phone & very poor customer service skills. The driver played his radio so loud with no concern through the entire trip with no consideration. The roads to Rainbow Mountain were so so bad & the poor quality of the coach made it worse. We were all sick by the end of this tour.

Mind Blowing
Cristian an Ruben were fantastic guide and driver. Palccoyo is an amazing place and recommend this Montaña de 7 Colores over the other if you're looking for more color and less crowds

Not nice
I requested the tour in the morning the day before it should start. At 11pm I still had no confirmation so I texted them. I just got an instant mail of cancellation with no chance for another tour tomorrow. Very nice.

Maybe even better than Vinicunca rainbow mountain
The ticket is excluded, they write in description that it’s included, and in inclusions & exclusions they write that it’s excluded, so just to clear that out. We didn’t get a guide, probably because of small amount of people. Breakfast and lunch was pretty good. There was almost no one, in total at the moment I was, there were like 15 tourists, I was in the main rainbow mountain, Vinicunca, it had snow, but I hated that it was so overcrowded. Some guides told me that Palccoyo for them is more beautiful and better than Vinicunca. And another thing is that if you don’t like hiking, it is perfect for you, you need just climb upstairs unlike Vinicunca, which requires 1.5 h hiking and climbing in to steep terrain

You get what you pay for
First things first, this trip is very good value for money and I would recommend, but as per the title of this review you very much get what you pay for so there are a few things to be aware of. 1. The pick up is NOT 7am as per the information - we were told we’d be picked up at 4:40, which turned into 4:30, but then they didn’t actually pick us up until almost 5am. Not really an issue but would have been nice to have had accurate information before booking. 2. All the correspondence is done through WhatsApp and we only seems to be sent the information about the trip the night before after nagging. Again, not the end of the world but an official email from the company with all the details the day before would have been good. 3. There’s not really much in the way of a tour - much like other reviews have said, most the info is given in Spanish and even then, the tour guide is basically just there to show you the way. If you’re looking to understand more about the place, book a different tour. Overall the tour was good - breakfast and lunch were decent and the pick up and drop off were easy enough. Not the comfiest bus journeys of my life but again, for the price, pretty good.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Cusco : Palccoyo Mountain of colours All inclusive 1 Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does From Cusco : Palccoyo Mountain of colours All inclusive 1 Day cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 From Cusco : Palccoyo Mountain of colours All inclusive 1 Day take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 From Cusco : Palccoyo Mountain of colours All inclusive 1 Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 25 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 From Cusco : Palccoyo Mountain of colours All inclusive 1 Day?
+
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 From Cusco : Palccoyo Mountain of colours All inclusive 1 Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Cusco : Palccoyo Mountain of colours All inclusive 1 Day?
+
Around 9 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Cusco : Palccoyo Mountain of colours All inclusive 1 Day start and how do I get there?
+

+

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?
+
