We’ll pick you up early from your hotel and drive south toward the Cusipata District, located in the Quispicanchi province. Along the way, we’ll stop briefly in town to pick up any last-minute supplies like water, snacks, or energy drinks. As we continue the drive, you’ll begin to see the changing scenery—snow-capped peaks, colorful farmland, and native Andean animals such as llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas dotting the landscape.
Our first main stop will be in the village of Chirihuani, where you’ll enjoy a warm Andean breakfast. From there, we’ll continue by vehicle to the starting point of our hike. The trail takes us through beautiful highland scenery for about an hour and a half, gradually climbing toward the Red Valley—a stunning landscape known for its vivid colors and otherworldly terrain. Along the way, you’ll see how the shifting light brings out different hues in the surrounding mountains.
Once we reach the summit—at about 5,200 meters above sea level—you’ll have time to take in the incredible panoramic views, capture photos, and appreciate the peaceful beauty of this mystical landscape. After enjoying the scenery, we’ll descend the same trail and return by vehicle to a nearby town where we will enjoy a well-earned buffet lunch. After some time to relax and enjoy the meal, we’ll head back to Cusco, arriving in the late afternoon.

Excellent, safe, and fun experience! Everything from start to finish was perfect! The communication between Diego/the company and I was seamless. My guide, Rumi, was absolultely wonderful! I went to Peru on my own, and wanted to ensure a safe, easy experience-Cusco Native definitely delivered!
We had a fantastic trip to Cusco. Our guide Marco was excellent. He was very informative and gave excellent historical background of the places we visited. He was also patient with our slower pace. The itinerary was very well planned.
We booked our Peru trip through Cusco Native and Leidy was great help. We had millions of questions and adjustments and changes to our travel plan and Leidy at Cusco Native was very patient and helpful. We had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime.
We recently returned from an incredible trip organized by this travel company, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the organization was flawless. They took the stress out of planning by helping us secure the exact Machu Picchu circuit tickets we wanted. If you want a well-organized, stress-free trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, this is the company to book!
