Itinerary
Day 01 Cusco – Quiquijana – Japura – Red Valley – 7 Colors Mountain – Cusco
Your adventure begins early in the morning with a pickup from your hotel in Cusco’s historic center. We will travel toward the southern valley, enjoying the breathtaking Andean landscapes and observing the daily life of rural villages along the way. This first stretch of the journey is perfect for experiencing the authentic culture of the region before our first stop.
Upon arrival in Quiquijana, you will enjoy a buffet breakfast at La Montaña Restaurant, featuring traditional Andean dishes to energize you for the day ahead. After breakfast, we will continue by private transport to Japura, the starting point for our ATV adventure.
At Japura, you will receive a brief orientation and practice session to familiarize yourself with the ATVs. Once ready, begin an exciting 70-minute ATV ride through highland trails. The route takes you through mountain paths surrounded by pristine nature, leading to the striking red mountains of Lauramani in the Red Valley. This area is less visited and offers stunning photographic opportunities along with a sense of peaceful isolation.
From the base of the Red Valley, embark on a 45-minute hike toward Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain). The hike gradually ascends, allowing your body to adjust to the altitude as you reach 5,200 meters above sea level. Upon arrival, marvel at the vibrant mineral layers of the mountain, and take advantage of free time for photos while your guide provides explanations about the geological formations and cultural significance of the area.
After enjoying the 7 Colors Mountain, descend on foot back to the ATV point and ride the same trail back to Japura. From there, transfer to Quiquijana for a buffet lunch, enjoying local Andean cuisine to refresh and recharge. After lunch, return to Cusco, where the tour concludes in the city center.

The tour starts very early type 3-4 am, how good you can sleep on the way, we breakfast in a very good buffet and then depart for the mountain. Here the height is the problem, you can walk up but it requires a lot of condition, the good thing is that there are horses that you can pay and for 90 suns they leave you 15-20 minutes from the top. Wear layered clothes as you can warm up when climbing. We already walk down and the road is much easier. On horseback you go up in 40 minutes, you are on the mountain an hour to take pictures and the return is about 1 hour or so. In the end we still had lunch in the same very rich buffet!

I liked the Service and attention I received, plus the quality of the guide who touched us to know the sacred valley on the way to Machu Picchu was first class, with extensive knowledge of the Inca culture and with very good explanation, I highly recommend them.

What a beautiful place!!! Most of us went up there on mules. Important to clarify if the person weighs more than 110 kg he will not be able to carry it and will have to walk up . . . It is still very expensive, to have proper footwear
