For anyone who wants to know the mountain of colors, you should know that you can take advantage of a new route that will allow you to pass through the famous Red Valley. Without a doubt, this tour is the perfect complement for nature-loving travelers.
A small canyon with a red soil that covers almost 95% of its surface. It is undoubtedly one of the natural wonders that most impact in Cusco. This route is relatively new but in a short time it gained great importance and popularity for national and foreign visitors.
the red valley is located on the Vinicunca route. Formerly it was completely covered in snow, although there are still seasons that is covered in snow throughout the valley.
Due to the reddish color of the valley and the proximity to the mountain of Vinicunca, this red valley has become Vinicunca’s first sister.
At the moment the red valley receives approximately 500 daily tourists between nationals and foreigners.
