Pallay Poncho Trek, also known as the sharp mountain, Apu Tacllo or Condor Sayana, is located more than 194 kilometers, three hours away from the city of Cusco, on a high summit located at an altitude of 4,791 meters above sea level, in the Cusco region. This mountain is known for its colorful striped landscape, similar to the Rainbow Mountain. The colors of Pallay Punchu are created by natural minerals found in the earth, which cover the mountain with shades of red, orange, yellow and violet.
