Description

Skip the crowded standard route and discover Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) from a completely different angle. Instead of the usual hiking-only approach, ride an ATV across the dramatic Red Valley, a lesser-known landscape of deep red, ochre, and green hillsides that rivals Rainbow Mountain itself in beauty. Break away from the usual formula followed by most Rainbow Mountain tours. Rather than driving straight to the trailhead, make a stop in Combapata, a small Andean town known throughout the region for its traditional homemade bread, giving you a genuine taste of local life before the adventure begins. From there, continue to Checacupe, home to a well-preserved colonial bridge and an original Inca stone bridge sitting at 3,450 meters above sea level, a piece of history most travelers passing through this valley never get to see. Only after these cultural stops does the real adventure begin, as you head up into the Red Valley to start your ATV ride toward one of Peru's most iconic natural wonders.
