I did the Palccoyo rainbow mountain with exploor peru with my privat guide Carlos
Had a great time. Carlos is a nice guide. Who tell you more about the palccoyo and the things happens in this area. We had time for stops if you like to take pictures.
The walk on the mountain was nice, and no problem for me.

I did a private tour of Palccoyo rainbow mountain with Gris and it was one of my favorite experiences of my trip. Exploor makes booking activities so easy and they provide such a geeat experience in their tours. Gris is amazing, knowledgeable and personable and I really enjoyed spending time talking with her. She made a solo excursion so fun with auch pleasant company. I can’t say enough about how great Gris and Exploor are!
