Itinerary and highlights

START

Our adventure begins with hotel pickup in Cusco, followed by a 3-hour scenic drive to the community of Laya, where our ATV base station is located.
After enjoying a hearty Andean breakfast, it’s time to gear up and get ready for the experience of a lifetime!

RED VALLEY EXPERIENCE

Accompanied by our expert local guide, we’ll start riding our ATVs up into the mountains, making several stops along the way to capture amazing photos.
The landscape is breathtaking — it’s common to spot llamas and alpacas, and we’ll even stop to get closer and take unforgettable pictures with them.
At the end of the ATV route, we’ll enjoy a 20-minute walk to reach the Red Valley Viewpoint, a perfect spot for panoramic photos and stunning Andean scenery.

RAINBOW MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE

We’ll then continue with a 40-minute hike to the world-famous Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca).
At the summit, take your time to admire the spectacular views of the Peruvian Andes, colorful valleys, and the majestic Ausangate Glacier.
This is the perfect opportunity to explore, take incredible photos, and meet the friendly alpacas that make this destination so iconic.

After soaking in the beauty, we’ll ride our ATVs back to the base, where our private transportation will take us to a local restaurant to enjoy a well-deserved traditional lunch.

END OF THE TOUR

Our tour concludes at Cusco’s Main Square (City Center) between 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM.
