Does the tour require physical effort even if we go by motor?

Yes, although much less than the full trekking tour. Keep two things in mind:: The Altitude: You will be above 5,000 meters, so you will still need to walk the final 15-25 minutes to the viewpoint, and you might feel short of breath. The Driving: Driving an ATV on irregular terrain requires some arm strength and attention. It is not a sedentary activity; it is an adventure!

Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley ATV Tour: Adventure & Landscapes

Cusco hides two treasures that look like they belong on another planet: the famous Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) and the spectacular Red Valley. Imagine being surrounded by mountains that shift from fuchsia to turquoise and ochre, creating a visual harmony that will leave you breathless.

Seeing it in photos is one thing, but feeling the freedom of traversing these ancient paths on wheels is a completely different experience. With Aura Andina, forget about extreme exhaustion; you will hop on an ATV to enjoy the scenery with adrenaline and comfort. It is the perfect escape to connect with the mountains, avoid the crowds, and live an unforgettable adventure far from the city.

Itinerary

Full Itinerary Our adventure begins very early. We will pick you up from your hotel to head south of Cusco. Our first stop will be in Cusipata, where we will have a nutritious breakfast to recharge our energy for this entertaining day.

We then continue to the Labrayani area, the starting point of our ATV adventure. After a brief safety briefing and driving practice, we begin our journey crossing majestic Andean landscapes, surrounded by multicolored mountains, crystal-clear lagoons, imposing snow-capped peaks, and high-Andean wildlife in its natural habitat.

After about 45 minutes of adrenaline, we arrive at Wampo Ccocha. From here, we will take a short hike (approx. 25 minutes) offering privileged views of the stunning Red Valley, until we reach the famous Rainbow Mountain.

After exploring, resting, and taking the perfect photos, we will make our way back to enjoy a well-deserved lunch before returning you comfortably to your hotel in Cusco.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is the great advantage of going by ATV: We visit both. By reducing travel time thanks to the vehicles, we have enough time to hike to the Red Valley viewpoint, an impressive Mars-like landscape that is often skipped in traditional hiking tours due to lack of time or fatigue.

Yes! We offer the option of a Double ATV (two people on one machine) or a Single ATV (one person per machine). If you choose the double option, you can take turns driving, provided both passengers are adults. It is an ideal option for couples or parents with teenagers.
