Cusco - Urcos - Cusipata - Sicuani - Layo Lagoon - Layo - Pallaypunchu
Pallay Punchu is a mountain that seems to have been painted by nature's hand in a vibrant display of colors. Its slopes are dressed in warm and cool tones that intertwine in a mosaic of hues: intense oranges and deep reds blend with blues and greens reminiscent of an eternal sunrise. Each season seems to reinvent its palette, causing pops of pink and yellow to flourish in spring, while in autumn, ochres and golds create an atmosphere of melancholy and celebration at the same time.
We begin the day with pickup from your hotel at 4:00 a.m. and head south, passing through picturesque villages and valleys where the best corn in the world is produced. En route, we'll stop to refuel with a delicious breakfast and continue our journey. We'll pass through Sicuani until we reach the town of Layo, famous for its lagoon, which also bears the same name. Our vehicle will drop us off mid-mountain, where we prepare for our hike. This trail can be a bit challenging at times, as there are some climbs. Your walking sticks will be very helpful, but don't worry, our guide will assist you every step of the way. Upon reaching this point, a spectacular view of PallayPunchu will amaze us. We'll have plenty of time to admire this wonderful landscape, with its contoured mountains shaped like a poncho, hence the name Pallay Punchu (woven poncho). After admiring the beauty of the new rainbow mountain, we'll descend the same path where our transportation will be waiting to take us to the restaurant for lunch. After this wonderful day of trekking and memorable landscapes, we'll begin the return trip to Cusco, where we'll arrive at approximately 6:00 PM.
