Highlights of the Route Places and experiences

The Red Valley is an impressive natural landscape, known for its intense reddish tones that seem taken from another planet. It is a little-visited area, ideal for those seeking unique and spectacular views far from the crowds. During the short hike through this valley, you can enjoy the tranquility of nature and capture incredible photographs.
- Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca)
The Rainbow Mountain, also called Vinicunca, is the undisputed icon of the tour. Its multicolored stripes are the result of minerals present in its layers, creating a unique natural spectacle in the world. This viewpoint offers panoramic views that cannot be missed in your visit to Cusco and is the highlight of the ATV adventure.

The ATV route begins in Japura, a charming point surrounded by mountainous landscapes and traditional Andean villages. Here you will receive the necessary instructions to drive ATVs safely before starting the adventure. It is the perfect start to immerse yourself in the pure nature of the Andes.

In Lauramani we leave the ATVs to start a short and accessible hike towards the viewpoint. This place serves as an intermediate base on the route and offers a tranquil environment where you can prepare to enjoy the impressive landscape ahead.

Along the route, you will enjoy spectacular highland landscapes: snow-capped mountains that seem to touch the sky, free-grazing herds of alpacas and llamas, crystalline streams, and local communities that keep their ancestral traditions alive. This combination of nature and culture makes the tour a complete and unforgettable experience.
