Experience Peru's famous Rainbow Mountain in a unique and authentic way with CBC Tupay. Instead of joining the line of tourist buses, you'll spend your first day visiting the Chari community, learning traditional weaving and experiencing the culture of an Andean community firsthand. You'll spend the night with a local family in a comfortable private room before setting off on an alternative hike to Palcoyo - a less-visited (but equally spectacular) part of the Rainbow Mountains.
On the hike, you'll be treated to stunning views of the colorful terrain as well as beautiful vistas of Apu Ausangate and other peaks. After a good workout on the trails, you'll stop back in the Chari community for another home-cooked meal before making the drive back to Cusco.
As a project of Centro Barolomé de las Casas, a nonprofit dedicated to studying and supporting the preservation of Andean cultures, CBC Tupay is dedicated to connecting travelers with unique experiences in indigenous communities throughout the Sacred Valley. Their goal is to give visitors a chance to know "authentic Peru" with its friendly people, the incredible nature of the Southern Peruvian Highlands, and the specialties of the rural areas of Cusco.
