Very historic city with plenty of architecture to see. Main square is pleasant and a good place to just sit and watch the world- except for the constant, non stop barrage of people trying to sell you something. (There are plenty of other smaller plazas- with less people trying to sell you something.) I realise I come from a fortunate place but when the same person asks you multiple times over the course of a day it wears you down. I was asked 38 times in 45 minutes if I wanted a massage, wanted to buy a picture, wanted my shoes polished (dont wear leather shoes- they just dont stop asking) or wanted to buy a trinket/ day trip/ object of some type. They are warm and friendly people so be courteous at least- but it does annoy after a while. Be prepared. Remember, your a visitor in their country- its not up to them to speak your language. They work hard and do it tough- there is no way the average Peruvian could even contemplate a trip like your on. The architecture is so well restored its hard to see (or know) what is original- but it is very interesting. Make sure you get a tourist pass that lets you visit multiple sites in the region (100 soles)- otherwise you can pay up to 70 soles for a single site.

Para algun@s esto puede quitarle mucho a la experiencia, especialmente si lo que buscas es una conexión particular con el entorno, experimentar la inmensidad de la naturaleza y lo pequeños que somos los humanos. En este sentido, Palcoyo ofrece un hermoso aislamiento que es difícil de conseguir en Vinicunca. Así que si lo que quieres es más silencio y menos personas a tu alrededor, inclínate por Palcoyo.
